• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Aestuariicella Lo et al. 2015. Publication: Lo N, Kim KH, Baek K, Jia B, Jeon CO. Aestuariicella hydrocarbonica gen. nov., sp. nov., an aliphatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from a sea tidal flat. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:1935-1940. 🇰🇷
  • ❗ Aestuariicella hydrocarbonica 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 Aestuariicella.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 4 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
  • 🧍 According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "species and genus is classified in the order Alteromonadales, and falls within the Cellvibrionales, Cellvibrionaceae and should be reclassified".
