• Notes:
  • 😢 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. The term "phylogenetic definition" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.

  • 😷 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 2 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🧍 The ATCC accession number cited by Nogi et al. is incorrect; ATCC BAA-363 should read ATCC BAA-353 (J. Tang, ATCC, pers. communication). — Leibniz Institute DSMZ. Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date, 2018-12-11.
  • 🧍 In the paper by Nogi et al. 2002, the type strain ATCC BAA-353 is erroneously cited as ATCC BAA-363. — Tang J. Personal communication, 2002-10-02.
