• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Oceaniglobus Li et al. 2017. Publication: Li J, Huang Z, Lai Q, Liu X, Wang G, Shao Z. Oceaniglobus indicus gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Rhodobacteraceae isolated from surface seawater. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:4930-4935. 🇨🇳
  • 😢 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. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
