- 🎓 Name mentioned 0 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.
- 🧍 The specific epithet rhodos (sic) has been corrected in the new combination Methylobacterium rhodinum [see, Methylobacterium rhodinum corrig. (Heumann 1962) Green and Bousfield 1983, comb. nov.]. However the name "Pseudomonas rhodina" corrig. has never been formally proposed before December 14, 2000 (date of publication of the amended Rule 61; see Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2000, 50, page 2239, column 2). Consequently, in the "List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature", the epithet rhodos (sic) has been maintained for Pseudomonas rhodos until the 2022 revision of the ICNP was published. Publication: Green PN, Bousfield IJ. Emendation of Methylobacterium Patt, Cole, and Hanson 1976; Methylobacterium rhodinum (Heumann 1962) comb. nov. corrig.; Methylobacterium radiotolerans (Ito and Iizuka 1971) comb. nov., corrig.; and Methylobacterium mesophilicum (Austin and Goodfellow 1979) comb. nov.
