• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Thermovum Yabe et al. 2012. Publication: Yabe S, Aiba Y, Sakai Y, Hazaka M, Yokota A. Thermovum composti gen. nov., sp. nov., an alphaproteobacterium from compost. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2012; 62:2991-2996.
  • 😢 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.
  • ❗ Thermovum composti is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Thermovum.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
