• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Aestuariimicrobium Jung et al. 2007. Publication: Jung SY, Kim HS, Song JJ, Lee SG, Oh TK, Yoon JH. Aestuariimicrobium kwangyangense gen. nov., sp. nov., an LL-diaminopimelic acid-containing bacterium isolated from tidal flat sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2007; 57:2114-2118.
  • 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • The genome of the type strain was sequenced as part of the GEBA (Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea) project.
