Notes:
- Bacteroides xylanolyticus is the correct name 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 Bacteroides.
- The genome of the type strain was sequenced as part of the GEBA (Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea) project. Publication: Garcia-Lopez M, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Woyke T, Kyrpides NC, Hahnke RL, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000 Type-Strain Genomes Improves Taxonomic Classification of Bacteroidetes. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:2083.
- Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession HF558386, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit CCUG 48289, an affiliation with Bacteroidaceae (Bacteroidetes) but observed an affiliation with Lachnospiraceae (Firmicutes) and 98.5% similarity against Clostridium aerotolerans.
