Notes:
- ❗ Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena 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 Pseudomonas.
- 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. 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 14 times 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.
- 🧍 Nom. rev. / basonym "Seliberia carboxydohydrogena".
- 🧍 According to Anzai et al., Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena (ex Sanjieva and Zavarzin 1971) Meyer et al. 1980 does not belong to the genus Pseudomonas sensu stricto. They assign Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena phylogenetically to the "Bradyrhizobium group rRNA lineage". Publication: Anzai Y, Kim H, Park JY, Wakabayashi H, Oyaizu H.
