Notes:
- Nouioui et al. (2018) pointed out that the conclusions by Baek et al. (2018) about the suitability of chemotaxonomic characters failed to distinguish between plesiomorphic and apomorphic character states. Nouioui et al. (2018) provided an alternative interpretation of the character-state distribution in Turicella and Corynebacterium and concluded that the data do not indicate a weakness of the studied chemotaxonomic characters.

- Providing further details, Göker (2021) reiterated the criticism raised by Nouioui et al. (2018) regarding the conclusions by Baek et al. (2018) about the suitability of chemotaxonomic characters.
