• Notes:
  • 😩 Deposit incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: CGMCC 1.13535.
  • ❗ Haloactinobacterium glacieicola 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 Haloactinobacterium.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 5 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🧍 According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "species affiliates away from the type species and is susceptible to being reclassified as a new genus within the Beutenbergiaceae". Publication: Ludwig W, Viver T, Westram R, Francisco Gago J, Bustos-Caparros E, Knittel K, Amann R, Rossello-Mora R.
