  • Notes:
    • ⏰ According to Kobayashi et al. (2024), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Clostridium methoxybenzovorans Mechichi et al. 1999. Publication: Kobayashi H, Tanizawa Y, Sakamoto M, Ohkuma M, Tohno M. Lacrimispora brassicae sp. nov. isolated from fermented cabbage, and proposal of Clostridium indicum Gundawar et al. 2019 and Clostridium methoxybenzovorans Mechichi et al. 1999 as heterotypic synonyms of Lacrimispora amygdalina (Parshina et al. 2003) Haas and Blanchard 2020 and Lacrimispora indolis (McClung and McCoy 1957) Haas and Blanchard 2020, respectively. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6456. 🇯🇵
    • 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Göker M. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 74, part 7 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6494.
    • ❗ Clostridium indolis 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.
