  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Pararoseomonas Rai et al. 2022. Publication: Rai A, Jagadeeshwari U, Deepshikha G, Smita N, Sasikala C, Ramana CV. Phylotaxogenomics for the Reappraisal of the Genus Roseomonas With the Creation of Six New Genera. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:677842. 🇮🇳
  • 😢 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. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 2 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
  • 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
  • 🧍 Pararoseomonas rosea (Kämpfer et al. 2003) Rai et al. 2022 is illegitimate because it is a homotypic synonym of a type species with a genus name that has priority. Publication: Kampfer P, Andersson MA, Jackel U, Salkinoja-Salonen M. Teichococcus ludipueritiae gen. nov. sp. nov., and Muricoccus roseus gen. nov. sp. nov. representing two new genera of the alpha-1 subclass of the Proteobacteria.
