• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Abyssibius Wei et al. 2023. Publication: Wei TT, Fan XB, Quan ZX. Abyssibius alkaniclasticus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Rhodobacteraceae, isolated from the Mariana Trench. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:5715.
  • 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. Names but not taxa can be validly published. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
