• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Pseudoroseomonas 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.

  • ❗ Pseudoroseomonas cervicalis 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 Pseudoroseomonas.
  • 😷 The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Roseomonas cervicalis Rihs et al. 1998, which has a risk group (Canada) above 1. This may require that the name shown here is not treated as the correct name for practical purposes. — The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Roseomonas cervicalis Rihs et al. 1998, which has a risk group (Germany) above 1.

  • 😴 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 species itself. This name is taxonomically suspended (and therefore not recommended for medical use for now) until no later than 2027 in favour of Roseomonas cervicalis Rihs et al. 1998.
