  • Notes:
    • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is -0.02665 (N = 14).
    • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — 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 2026-08-13. 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 85 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
    • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded pathogenicity of other species in the genus.
    • 🧍 The supposed new combination Bradyrhizobium lupini Peix et al. 2015 contravenes the ICNP because the authors intended to propose a new combination for Rhizobium lupini (Schroeter 1886) Eckhardt et al. 1931 (Approved Lists 1980), but when doing so exchanged the type strain. Strain ATCC 10319 was listed as type strain of Rhizobium lupini (Schroeter 1886) Eckhardt et al. 1931 in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. Irrespective of the suitability, or lack thereof, of ATCC 10319 as the type strain of this species, this exchange of the type strain contravenes the ICNP. Only the Judicial Commission can correct the Approved Lists. In order to highlight the exchange of the nomenclatural type, LPSN lists this name as Bradyrhizobium lupini Peix et al. 2015 instead of Bradyrhizobium lupini (Schroeter 1886) Peix et al. 2015 and does not indicate the two names as homotypic synonyms.
