• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Fluviibacterium Sun et al. 2020. Publication: Sun YY, Dang YR, He XY, Wang JM, Liu NH, Sun ML, Li CY, Chen XL, Zhang YZ, Song XY, et al. Fluviibacterium aquatile gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from estuary sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:105-111. 🇨🇳
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
  • ❗ Fluviibacterium aquatile 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 Fluviibacterium.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. 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.
