• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Thiopseudomonas Tan et al. 2015. Publication: Tan WB, Jiang Z, Chen C, Yuan Y, Gao LF, Wang HF, Cheng J, Li WJ, Wang AJ. Thiopseudomonas denitrificans gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from anaerobic activated sludge. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:225-229. 🇨🇳
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?

  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 5 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
  • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded pathogenicity of other species in the genus.
