  • 🧕 Goeker and Oren (2024) assigned this phylum to the kingdom Pseudomonadati (Gibbons and Murray 1978) Oren and Göker 2024. Publication: Goker M, Oren A. Valid publication of names of two domains and seven kingdoms of prokaryotes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6242.
  • 🧒 Goeker and Oren (2023) assigned the genus Desulfobacter Widdel 1981 to this phylum. Publication: Goker M, Oren A. Valid publication of four additional phylum names. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6024.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Delsulfobacterota"; "Desulfurbacterota".
  • ❗ Desulfobacterota is the correct name instead if this phylum is regarded as a separate phylum (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another phylum whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Waite et al.) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Göker and Oren).
