Notes:
- Methylobacterium rhodinum 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 Methylobacterium.
- In 1983, Green and Bousfield corrected the specific epithet, rhodos (sic) to rhodinum. Publication: Euzeby JP. List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature: a folder available on the Internet. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:590-592.
