• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Youhaiella Wang et al. 2015. Publication: Wang YX, Huang FQ, Nogi Y, Pang SJ, Wang PK, Lv J. Youhaiella tibetensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from subsurface sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:2048-2055. 🇨🇳
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
  • ❗ Youhaiella tibetensis 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 Youhaiella.
  • 😷 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 6 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
