Nomenclatural status: not validly published

Taxonomic status: preferred name (not correct name)

Risk group: 1

Notes:
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🧍 It has become apparent that one of the culture collection certificates supplied in connection with this paper, provided by Zubair Aslam without the knowledge of the other authors, was not issued by the culture collection concerned; therefore evidence has not been provided that the type strain of Flavobacterium sasangense has been deposited in two culture collections in different countries, as required for valid publication of a species name under the Bacteriological Code. For this reason, this paper has been retracted. Publication: Kampfer P. Certificates of deposit - a key element of the Bacteriological Code and an indispensable prerequisite for comparative taxonomic research.
