🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Vermcomicrobia"; "Verrocomicrobia"; "Verrocumicrobia"; "Verruccomicrobia"; "Verrucomicro"; "Verrucomicrobiati"; "Verrucomicrobioa"; "Verrumicrobia"; "Verucomicrobia".
🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP.Publication:
Borel N, Horn M, Greub G. International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Chlamydiae. Minutes of the closed meeting, 20 March 2019, Seattle, WA, USA. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:3654-3656.
😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. The term "phylogenetic definition" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.Publication:
