• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Ichthyenterobacterium Shakeela et al. 2015. Publication: Shakeela Q, Shehzad A, Tang K, Zhang Y, Zhang XH. Ichthyenterobacterium magnum gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:1186-1192.
  • 😢 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. 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.
  • ❗ Ichthyenterobacterium magnum 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 Ichthyenterobacterium.
  • 😷 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.
