🧍 The original spelling of the specific epithet macrogoltabidus (sic), has been corrected by Yabuuchi 2002 to macrogolitabida. [1]. However, this correction is forbidden by the Note for Rule 61 [2, 3] and the name Sphingomonas macrogolitabida Takeuchi et al. 1993 corrig. Yabuuchi 2002 is not in accordance with that Rule.
