• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Caenimicrobium Felföldi et al. 2017. Publication: Felfoldi T, Schumann P, Mentes A, Keki Z, Mathe I, Toth EM. Caenimicrobium hargitense gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Alcaligenaceae (Betaproteobacteria) isolated from activated sludge. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:627-632.
  • 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.
