Notes:
- ❗ Clostridium alkalicellulosi is the correct name instead 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 Clostridium.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 3 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
- 🧍 In the effective publication, the type strain VKM B-2349 is erroneously cited as VKM 2349. The culture collection accession number DSM 17461 has been provided on request for validation. — 🧍 The original spelling of the specific epithet, alkalicellum (sic), has been corrected on validation according to Rule 61. Publication: Euzeby JP. Validation list no. 110. List of new names and new combinations previously effectively, but not validly, published. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2006; 56:1459-1460.
