• Notes:
  • 🥇 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.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 1 time in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🙅 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. Syst Appl Microbiol 2003; 26:23-29.
