Name	Kind
Gluconoacetobacter diazotrophicus (Gillis et al. 1989) Yamada et al. 1998	homotypic synonym, inaccurate spelling

Notes:
- Acetobacter diazotrophicus is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Acetobacter.
- In the paper by Gillis et al. 1989, the type strain Döbereiner PA1 5 is incorrectly cited as Döbereiner PA 5. Publication: . Erratum. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1989; 39:502.
