Publication:
Chimetto LA, Cleenwerck I, Brocchi M, Willems A, De Vos P, Thompson FL. Marinomonas brasilensis sp. nov., isolated from the coral Mussismilia hispida, and reclassification of Marinomonas basaltis as a later heterotypic synonym of Marinomonas communis. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1170-1175.
- ❗ Alteromonas communis 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 Alteromonas.
