  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Tangfeifania Liu et al. 2014. Publication: Liu QQ, Li XL, Rooney AP, Du ZJ, Chen GJ. Tangfeifania diversioriginum gen. nov., sp. nov., a representative of the family Draconibacteriaceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3473-3477.
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
