• Notes:
  • ⏲ According to Katsura et al. (2002), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Gluconobacter cerinus (ex Asai 1935) Yamada and Akita 1984. Publication: Katsura K, Yamada Y, Uchimura T, Komagata K. Gluconobacter asaii Mason and Claus 1989 is a junior subjective synonym of Gluconobacter cerinus Yamada and Akita 1984. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2002; 52:1635-1640.
  • ❗ Gluconobacter asaii 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 Gluconobacter.
