Notes:
- According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "species affiliates with the Gammaproteobacteria, Enterobacteraceae and is a true member of Pantoea, and the sequence may need revision". Publication: Ludwig W, Viver T, Westram R, Francisco Gago J, Bustos-Caparros E, Knittel K, Amann R, Rossello-Mora R. Release LTP_12_2020, featuring a new ARB alignment and improved 16S rRNA tree for prokaryotic type strains. Syst Appl Microbiol 2021; 44:126218.
- Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession JX986959, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit LMG 8364, an affiliation with Flavobacteriaceae (Bacteroidetes) but observed an affiliation with Enterobacteriaceae (Proteobacteria) and 99.9% similarity against Pantoea ananatis.

- The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the type strain shows an unexpected affiliation with the family Enterobacteriaceae (99.9% similarity against Pantoea ananatis).
