• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Alterinioella Kong et al. 2022. Publication: Kong YH, Sun C, Guo LL, Xu L, Wu YH, Xu XW. Alterinioella nitratireducens gen. nov., sp. nov., Isolated from Seawater in the West Pacific Ocean. Curr Microbiol 2021; 78:2455-2463.
  • 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.
