Notes:
- 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
- ❗ Pedobacter saltans 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 Pedobacter.
