• 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.
  • 😷 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.
