Notes:
- ❗ Desulfovibrio mexicanus 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 Desulfovibrio.

🧍 At the time of publication, the type strain was not deposited in two publicly accessible service collections in different countries, and Desulfovibrio mexicanus Hernandez-Eugenio et al. 2001 was not validly published [Rules 27(3) and 30]. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Desulfovibrio mexicanus Hernandez-Eugenio et al. 2001 is now considered to be validly published, since deposit in a second culture collection in a different country has been documented.
