Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2010; 97:221-229.
  • ❗ Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceani 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 Desulfovibrio oceani within a separate genus Desulfovibrio.
