• Notes:
  • According to Yarza et al. (2013), an "un-sequenced orphan species where descriptions, illustrations or dead preserved material serve as the type. Strain designation appears to refer to herbarium material.". Publication: Yarza P, Sproer C, Swiderski J, Mrotzek N, Spring S, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Pukall R, Klenk HP, Lang E, et al.

  • In accordance with Rule 18f of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, strain Sy t2 (DSM 14631 JCM 12617) has been designated as the type strain of Chondromyces lanuginosus by Lang and Reichenbach (2013); these authors also provided the 16S rRNA gene sequence accession number given above.
