    Notes:
    • The genome of the type strain was sequenced as part of the GEBA (Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea) project.

• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Henriciella Quan et al. 2009. Publication: Quan ZX, Zeng DN, Xiao YP, Roh SW, Nam YD, Chang HW, Yoon JH, Oh HM, Bae JW. Henriciella marina gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Hyphomonadaceae isolated from the East Sea. J Microbiol 2009; 47:156-161.
  • 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. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
