• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Gaetbulicola Yoon et al. 2010. Publication: Yoon JH, Kang SJ, Jung YT, Oh TK. Gaetbulicola byunsanensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:196-199.
  • 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. 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.
  • ❗ Gaetbulicola byunsanensis 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 Gaetbulicola.
  • 😷 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.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 2 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🧍 In the April 2012 issue of the IJSEM, Yoon et al. propose to transfer Gaetbulicola byunsanensis Yoon et al. 2010 in the genus Marivita as Marivita byunsanensis (Yoon et al. 2010) Yoon et al. 2012, comb. nov. However, the type strain is not cited in the description of the new combination ("protologue"). So, according to Rules 16, 27(3) and 30(3b), the name Marivita byunsanensis is not validly published.
