• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Gaetbulimicrobium Yoon et al. 2006. Publication: Yoon JH, Kang SJ, Jung SY, Oh HW, Oh TK. Gaetbulimicrobium brevivitae gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2006; 56:115-119.
  • 😢 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. 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.
  • ❗ Gaetbulimicrobium brevivitae 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 Gaetbulimicrobium.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
