• Notes:
  • According to Stackebrandt et al. (1982), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Nocardia cellulans Metcalfe and Brown 1957 (Approved Lists 1980).

  • Cellulomonas cartae is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species within a separate genus Cellulomonas.
  • G.R. Carta (1973) described a cellulolytic organism in a U.S. patent and he named the organism Cellulomonas cartalyticum (sic). The name "Cellulomonas cartalyticum" Carta 1973 was in a patent and hence was neither effectively published nor validly published [Rule 25b (5)]. Therefore, this nomenclatural name cannot be revived (Rule 28a) and the citation of Cellulomonas cartae cannot mention the original author.
  • Therefore, the name of the taxon under which they are united is Cellulomonas cellulans (Metcalf and Brown 1957) Stackebrandt and Keddie 1988 [2, 3]. Publication: Stackebrandt E, Keddie RM. Genus Cellulomonas Bergey et al. 1923, 154, emend. mut. char. Clark 1952, 50AL.

  • The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 1, note = "ht+".
