• Notes:
  • ⏲ According to Dobritsa et al. (2010), this species is not a later heterotypic synonym of Herbaspirillum huttiense (Leifson 1962) Ding and Yokota 2004. Publication: Dobritsa AP, Reddy MC, Samadpour M. Reclassification of Herbaspirillum putei as a later heterotypic synonym of Herbaspirillum huttiense, with the description of H. huttiense subsp. huttiense subsp. nov. and H. huttiense subsp. putei subsp. nov., comb. nov., and description of Herbaspirillum aquaticum sp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:1418-1426.
  • ⏲ According to Dobritsa et al. (2010), this species is not a later heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas huttiensis Leifson 1962 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Dobritsa AP, Reddy MC, Samadpour M. Reclassification of Herbaspirillum putei as a later heterotypic synonym of Herbaspirillum huttiense, with the description of H. huttiense subsp. huttiense subsp. nov. and H. huttiense subsp. putei subsp. nov., comb. nov., and description of Herbaspirillum aquaticum sp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:1418-1426.
  • ❗ Herbaspirillum putei 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 Herbaspirillum.
  • 😷 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 2024-03-28.
  • 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
