• 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. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.

  • 🧍 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.
