• Notes:
  • According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "genus affiliates with Hydrogenobacter subterraneus and may be reclassified". Publication: Ludwig W, Viver T, Westram R, Francisco Gago J, Bustos-Caparros E, Knittel K, Amann R, Rossello-Mora R. Release LTP_12_2020, featuring a new ARB alignment and improved 16S rRNA tree for prokaryotic type strains. Syst Appl Microbiol 2021; 44:126218.
  • Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession GU233444, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit ATCC 51754, an affiliation with Burkholderiaceae (Proteobacteria) but observed an affiliation with Aquificaceae (Aquificae) and 99.7% similarity against Hydrogenobacter subterraneus.
