• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxydans (Yabuuchi and Yano 1981 ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) Kersters and De Ley 1984 according to rule 40d. Publication: Kersters K, De Ley J. Genus Alcaligenes. In: Krieg NR, Holt JG (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, first edition, vol. 1, The Williams & Wilkins Co, Baltimore, 1984, p. 361-373.
  • ❗ Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. denitrificans is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Alcaligenes denitrificans within a separate genus Alcaligenes.
  • 😷 The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 2. — 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.
  • 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
  • 🧍 Although the name Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. denitrificans has been validly published, it has not priority. Publication: Kiredjian M, Holmes B, Kersters K, Guilvout I, De Ley J. Alcaligenes piechaudii, a new species from human clinical specimens and the environment. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1986; 36:282-287. 🇬🇧
  • 🧍 Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans (Rüger and Tan 1983) Kiredjian et al. 1986, and Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (Yabuuchi and Yano 1981) Kiredjian et al. 1986 are distinct species. Formal nomenclatural modifications are not required as both Alcaligenes denitrificans (ex Leifson and Hugh 1954) Rüger and Tan 1983, and Alcaligenes xylosoxidans (Yabuuchi and Yano 1981) Kiredjian et al. 1986 were validly published.
