• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Corticibacterium Li et al. 2016. Publication: Li Y, Guo LM, Chang JP, Xie SJ, Piao CG, Li X. Corticibacteriumpopuli gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Phyllobacteriaceae, isolated from bark of Populusxeuramericana. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:2617-2622.
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • ❗ Corticibacterium populi 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 Corticibacterium.
