• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Mangrovicella Li et al. 2018. Publication: Li FN, Liao S, Guo M, Tuo L, Yan X, Li W, Jin T, Lee SM, Sun CH.

  • 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.
