Notes:
- 😩 Deposits incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: CGMCC 1.12919; JCM 30308.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 5 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
- 🧍 In the protologue of the original description, the JCM number is mistakenly given as JCM 30308 (sic). JCM 30308 is the type strain of Chelatococcus reniformis Gu et al. 2016, the correct number is JCM 30271 as given in the abstract. Publication: Gu Z, Liu Y, Wang N, Jiao N, Shen L, Liu H, Zhou Y, Liu X, Li J, Liang J, et al. Chelatococcus reniformis sp. nov., isolated from a glacier.
