  • ⏲ According to Wang and Gao (2021), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Chakrabartia godavariana Jani et al. 2019. Publication: Wang P, Gao Y. Aestuariisphingobium litorale Li et al. 2020 is a later heterotypic synonym of Chakrabartia godavariana Jani et al. 2019. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4974.
  • ⏲ According to Wang and Gao (2021), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Aquisediminimonas godavariana (Jani et al. 2019) Wang et al. 2025. Publication: Wang P, Gao Y. Aestuariisphingobium litorale Li et al. 2020 is a later heterotypic synonym of Chakrabartia godavariana Jani et al. 2019. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4974.
  • 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 71, part 8 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:5057.
  • 😢 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. 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.
  • ❗ Aestuariisphingobium litorale 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 Aestuariisphingobium.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 2 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
