🧍 Formerly "Pseudomonas azotocolligans". — 🧍 Sphingomonas trueperi Kämpfer et al. 1997 was previously known as "Pseudomonas azotocolligans" Anderson 1955. As it has been demonstrated that "Pseudomonas azotocolligans" lacks the ability to fix molecular nitrogen, Kämpfer et al. 1997 propose the name Sphingomonas trueperi.
