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 2 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🧍 In the paper by Li et al., the strain CCTCC AA 001023 is cited as CCTCC AA001023. Publication: Euzeby JP. List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature: a folder available on the Internet. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:590-592.
  • 🧍 The name Yania halotolerans Li et al. 2004 is illegitimate because the genus name is illegitimate (see Yania). Consequently, a new species designation Yaniella halotolerans (Li et al. 2004) Li et al. 2008 has been proposed by Li et al. 2008. Publication: Li WJ, Zhi XY, Euzeby JP. Proposal of Yaniellaceae fam. nov., Yaniella gen. nov. and Sinobaca gen. nov. as replacements for the illegitimate prokaryotic names Yaniaceae Li et al. 2005, Yania Li et al. 2004, emend Li et al. 2005, and Sinococcus Li et al. 2006, respectively.
