• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Trichlorobacter De Wever et al. 2001. Publication: De Wever H, Cole JR, Fettig MR, Hogan DA, Tiedje JM. Reductive dehalogenation of trichloroacetic acid by Trichlorobacter thiogenes gen. nov., sp. nov. Appl Environ Microbiol 2000; 66:2297-2301.
  • ❗ Trichlorobacter thiogenes 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 Trichlorobacter.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 5 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
  • 🧍 According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published, because the original publication makes reference to the deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Trichlorobacter thiogenes De Wever et al. 2001 is considered to be validly published, since deposit in a second culture collection in a different country has been documented.
