Notes:
- ⏰ According to Carlier et al. (2010), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Clostridium orbiscindens Winter et al. 1991. Publication: Carlier JP, Bedora-Faure M, K'ouas G, Alauzet C, Mory F. Proposal to unify Clostridium orbiscindens Winter et al. 1991 and Eubacterium plautii (Seguin 1928) Hofstad and Aasjord 1982, with description of Flavonifractor plautii gen. nov., comb. nov., and reassignment of Bacteroides capillosus to Pseudoflavonifractor capillosus gen. nov., comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:585-590. 🇫🇷
- ❗ Eubacterium plautii 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 Eubacterium.
