• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Vibrionimonas Albert et al. 2014. Publication: Albert RA, Zitomer D, Dollhopf M, Schauer-Gimenez AE, Struble C, King M, Son S, Langer S, Busse HJ. Proposal of Vibrionimonas magnilacihabitans gen. nov., sp. nov., a curved Gram-stain-negative bacterium isolated from lake water. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:613-620.
  • ❗ Vibrionimonas magnilacihabitans 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 Vibrionimonas.
