Notes:

🧍 Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession HF558387, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit CCUG 48292, an affiliation with Bacteroidaceae (Bacteroidetes) but observed an affiliation with Incertae sedis XI (Firmicutes) and 72.91% similarity against Bacteroides fragilis; 86.39% against Tissierella praeacuta.
