Notes:
📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Bacteroidesmelaninogenicus subsp. intermedius Holdeman and Moore 1970 (Approved Lists 1980) according to rule 40d.Publication:

❗ Bacteroidesmelaninogenicus subsp. melaninogenicus 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 Bacteroidesmelaninogenicus within a separate genus Bacteroides.
