• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Gluconobacter japonicus subsp. nephelii (Kommanee et al. 2011) Hördt et al. 2020 according to rule 40d. Publication: Hordt A, Lopez MG, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Schleuning M, Weinhold LM, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Kyrpides NC, Woyke T, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:468.
  • ❗ Gluconobacter japonicus subsp. japonicus 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 Gluconobacter japonicus within a separate genus Gluconobacter.
