• Notes:
  • This taxon name is a homonym of "Verrucomicrobiota" Whitman et al. 2018.
  • 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.
  • Verrucomicrobiota is the correct name 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 (Hedlund) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Oren and Garrity).
