• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus "Metalliresistens" Noisangiam et al. 2010. Publication: Noisangiam R, Nuntagij A, Pongsilp N, Boonkerd N, Denduangboripant J, Ronson C, Teaumroong N. Heavy metal tolerant Metalliresistens boonkerdii gen. nov., sp. nov., a new genus in the family Bradyrhizobiaceae isolated from soil in Thailand. Syst Appl Microbiol 2010; 33:374-382.
  • 🧍 See also Noisangiam et al. (2011). Publication: Noisangiam R, Nuntagij A, Pongsilp N, Boonkerd N, Denduangboripant J, Ronson C, Teaumroong N. Erratum to "Heavy metal tolerant Metalliresistens boonkerdii gen. nov., sp. nov., a new genus in the family Bradyrhizobiaceae isolated from soil in Thailand" [Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 33 (2010) 374–382]. Proposal of Rhodopseudomonas boonkerdii sp. nov., a new heavy metal tolerant bacterium isolated from Thailand. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 2011; 34:166-168.
  • 🧍 In the original conclusion, Noisangiam et al. proposed the isolated strain NS23 as a new genus in the family Bradyrhizobiaceae due to the use of the wrong sequence of the 16S rRNA gene (AB498818) of the type strain. After the use of the correct sequence (D25312), strain NS23 did not fall outside the genus Rhodopseudomonas. Therefore, this change alters the original conclusion: strain NS23 is not a new genus but a new species of Rhodopseudomonas. Among all species of Rhodopseudomonas, strain NS23 most closely resembled Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Rhodopseudomonas rhenobacensis and Rhodopseudomonas faecalis at a similar level of 97–98%. However, substantial physiological differences existed between strain NS23 and these three species of Rhodopseudomonas. Differentiation of strain NS23 from other taxa was confirmed by data of the cellular fatty acid content and also by multilocus sequence analysis, showing that strain NS23 fell into a single major cluster distinguished from the other compared species. Therefore, Noisangiam et al. propose strain NS23 as a new species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas, with the name Rhodopseudomonas boonkerdii. Publication: Garrity GM, Bell JA, Lilburn T. Family VII.
