• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Rhodobaca Milford et al. 2001. Publication: Milford AD, Achenbach LA, Jung DO, Madigan MT. Rhodobaca bogoriensis gen. nov. and sp. nov., an alkaliphilic purple nonsulfur bacterium from African Rift Valley soda lakes. Arch Microbiol 2000; 174:18-27.
  • ❗ Rhodobaca bogoriensis 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 Rhodobaca.
  • 😷 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 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 8 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🧍 The genome of the type strain was sequenced as part of the GEBA (Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea) project. Publication: Hordt A, Lopez MG, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Schleuning M, Weinhold LM, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Kyrpides NC, Woyke T, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:468.
  • 🧍 At the time of publication, the type strain was not deposited in two publicly accessible service collections in different countries, and Rhodobaca bogoriensis Milford et al. 2001 was not validly published [Rules 27(3) and 30]. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Rhodobaca bogoriensis Milford et al. 2001 is now considered to be validly published, since deposit in a second culture collection in a different country has been documented.
