• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Yuhushiella Mao et al. 2011. Publication: Mao J, Wang J, Dai HQ, Zhang ZD, Tang QY, Ren B, Yang N, Goodfellow M, Zhang LX, Liu ZH. Yuhushiella deserti gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the suborder Pseudonocardineae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:621-630.
  • 😢 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.
  • ❗ Yuhushiella deserti 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 Yuhushiella.
