Notes:
⏲ According to Bouznada et al. (2024), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Caldicoprobacteroshimai Yokoyama et al. 2010 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.Publication:

😩 Deposit incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: JCM 30146.
❗ Acetomicrobiumfaecale is the correct name instead 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 Acetomicrobium.
