• Notes:
  • 😩 Deposit incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: DSM 3308.
  • 😡 This taxon name is a homonym of Lacrimispora xylanolytica (Rogers and Baecker 1991) Haas and Blanchard 2020.
  • 😢 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 usage of the term "coherent taxon" (or equivalent) is cautioned against. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
