• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus "Candidatus Limnocylindrus" Mehrshad et al. 2018. Publication: Mehrshad M, Salcher MM, Okazaki Y, Nakano SI, Simek K, Andrei AS, Ghai R. Hidden in plain sight-highly abundant and diverse planktonic freshwater Chloroflexi. Microbiome 2018; 6:176. 🇨🇿
  • 🧍 This species name was not proposed in the effective publication of its genus name. However, Appendix 4 of Candidatus List No. 7 assigned this species as the type species of its genus, as no species had been proposed in the same effective publication in which the genus name was included. The species name should be treated as if it had been included in both the effective publication and the Candidatus List that first listed the genus name.
