  • ❗ "Candidatus Rhodoluna lacicola" is the pro-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 and legitimate or pro-validly published and pro-legitimate and not rejected and has priority or pro-priority) within a separate genus "Candidatus Rhodoluna".
  • 😷 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.
  • 🧍 A type species was not chosen by its authors as the type species of its non-monotypic genus, but this species was designated as the type species in Appendix 3 of Candidatus List No. 7.
  • 🧍 This name was also included in a Notification List. Publication: Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 59, part 1 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2009; 59:645-646.
