Notes:
- ⏲ According to Lee et al. (2023), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Microbacterium aurantiacum Takeuchi and Hatano 1998. Publication: Lee SD, Yang HL, Kim IS. Four new Microbacterium species isolated from seaweeds and reclassification of five Microbacterium species with a proposal of Paramicrobacterium gen. nov. under a genome-based framework of the genus Microbacterium. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1299950.
- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Göker M. List of changes in taxonomic opinion no. 40. Notification of changes in taxonomic opinion previously published outside the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6482.
- 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
- ❗ Microbacterium kitamiense is the correct name instead 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 Microbacterium.
