• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Niveitalea Hyeon et al. 2017. Publication: Hyeon JW, Lee HJ, Jeong SE, Cho GY, Jeon CO.

  • 😩 Deposits incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: JCM 31230; KACC 18594.
  • 😢 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.
