• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Defluviimonas Foesel et al. 2013. Publication: Foesel BU, Drake HL, Schramm A. Defluviimonas denitrificans gen. nov., sp. nov., and Pararhodobacter aggregans gen. nov., sp. nov., non-phototrophic Rhodobacteraceae from the biofilter of a marine aquaculture.

  • ❗ Defluviimonas denitrificans 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 Defluviimonas.
