  • Notes:
    • ⏰ According to Gago et al. (2021), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Alteromonas addita Ivanova et al. 2005. Publication: Gago JF, Viver T, Urdiain M, Pastor S, Kampfer P, Ferreira E, Rossello-Mora R. Description of three new Alteromonas species Alteromonas antoniana sp. nov., Alteromonas lipotrueae sp. nov. and Alteromonas lipotrueiana sp. nov. isolated from marine environments, and proposal for reclassification of the genus Salinimonas as Alteromonas. Syst Appl Microbiol 2021; 44:126226. 🇪🇸
    • 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. List of changes in taxonomic opinion no. 35. Notification of changes in taxonomic opinion previously published outside the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5164.
