• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Litorimicrobium Jin et al. 2011. Publication: Jin HM, Lee HJ, Kim JM, Park MS, Lee K, Jeon CO. Litorimicrobium taeanense gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a sandy beach. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1392-1396.
  • 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. 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.
  • Litorimicrobium taeanense is the correct name 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 Litorimicrobium.
  • The genome of the type strain was sequenced as part of the GEBA (Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea) project. Publication: Hordt A, Lopez MG, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Schleuning M, Weinhold LM, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Kyrpides NC, Woyke T, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:468.

  • The type strain of Litorimicrobium taeanense G4 is KACC 13706, as given in the abstract, not KACC 13703, as given in the description of the species. — Bradley D. Personal communication, 2011-06-13.
