• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Corynebacterium michiganense subsp. insidiosum (McCulloch 1925) Carlson and Vidaver 1982 according to rule 40d.

Bacteriol. 1982; 32:315-326.
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Corynebacterium michiganense subsp. nebraskense (Vidaver and Mandel 1974) Carlson and Vidaver 1982 according to rule 40d. Publication: Carlson RR, Vidaver AK. Taxonomy of Corynebacterium plant pathogens, including a new pathogen of wheat, based on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cellular proteins. Int. J. Syst.

  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Corynebacterium michiganense subsp. sepedonicum (Spieckermann and Kotthoff 1914) Carlson and Vidaver 1982 according to rule 40d. Publication: Carlson RR, Vidaver AK. Taxonomy of Corynebacterium plant pathogens, including a new pathogen of wheat, based on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cellular proteins. Int. J. Syst.

  • ❗ Corynebacterium michiganense subsp. michiganense 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 Corynebacterium michiganense within a separate genus Corynebacterium.
  • 😷 The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis corrig. (Smith 1910) Davis et al. 1984, which has a risk group (Swiss Confederation) above 1. This may require that the name shown here is not treated as the correct name for practical purposes.
  • 🙅 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.
  • 🧍 The original authorship, (Smith 1910) Jensen 1934, was corrected according to the new Rule 40d. Publication: Garrity GM, Labeda DP, Oren A.
