• Notes:
  • ⏲ According to Lang et al. (2003), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Janibacter terrae Yoon et al. 2000. Publication: Lang E, Kroppenstedt RM, Swiderski J, Schumann P, Ludwig W, Schmid A, Weiss N. Emended description of Janibacter terrae, including ten dibenzofuran-degrading strains and Janibacter brevis as its later heterotypic synonym. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2003; 53:1999-2005.
  • ❗ Janibacter brevis 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 Janibacter.
