  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 3 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
  • 🧍 As a consequence, a necessary reclassification of Subtercola pratensis is in preparation [2]. Publication: Behrendt U, Ulrich A, Schumann P, Naumann D, Suzuki K. Diversity of grass-associated Microbacteriaceae isolated from the phyllosphere and litter layer after mulching the sward; polyphasic characterization of Subtercola pratensis sp. nov., Curtobacterium herbarum sp. nov. and Plantibacter flavus gen. nov., sp. nov.

  • 🧍 While the paper by Behrendt et al. 2002 was being reviewed, Evtushenko et al. 2001 [1] proposed a novel genus, Agreia, which showed chemotaxonomic features corresponding to those of Subtercola pratensis. Publication: Evtushenko LI, Dorofeeva LV, Dobrovolskaya TG, Streshinskaya GM, Subbotin SA, Tiedje JM. Agreia bicolorata gen. nov., sp. nov., to accommodate actinobacteria isolated from narrow reed grass infected by the nematode Heteroanguina graminophila.
