• Notes:
  • ⏰ According to Liu et al. (2020), this subspecies is not an earlier heterotypic synonym of Bifidobacterium gallinarum subsp. saeculare (Biavati et al. 1992) Liu et al. 2020. Publication: Liu DD, Wang H, Gu CT. Proposal of Bifidobacterium saeculare Biavati et al. 1992 as a later heterotypic synonym of Bifidobacterium gallinarum Watabe et al. 1983 and Bifidobacterium gallinarum subsp. saeculare subsp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:5964-5968.
  • 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 70, part 11 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4645.
  • ❗ Bifidobacterium pullorum subsp. gallinarum 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 Bifidobacterium pullorum within a separate genus Bifidobacterium.
