Notes:
-
⏰ According to Lai et al. (2010), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Ruegeria pelagia Lee et al. 2007.
Publication:
Lai Q, Yuan J, Li F, Zheng T, Shao Z. Ruegeria pelagia is a later heterotypic synonym of Ruegeria mobilis. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:1918-1920.
- ❗ Epibacterium mobile 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 Epibacterium.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 2 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
