  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Povalibacter Nogi et al. 2014. Publication: Nogi Y, Yoshizumi M, Hamana K, Miyazaki M, Horikoshi K. Povalibacter uvarum gen. nov., sp. nov., a polyvinyl-alcohol-degrading bacterium isolated from grapes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:2712-2717.
  • 😢 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.
