• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis subsp. tetraodonis (Simidu et al. 1990) Gauthier et al. 1995 according to rule 40d. Publication: Gauthier G, Gauthier M, Christen R. Phylogenetic analysis of the genera Alteromonas, Shewanella, and Moritella using genes coding for small-subunit rRNA sequences and division of the genus Alteromonas into two genera, Alteromonas (emended) and Pseudoalteromonas gen. nov., and proposal of twelve new species combinations. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1995; 45:755-761.
  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • ❗ Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis subsp. haloplanktis 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 Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis within a separate genus Pseudoalteromonas.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01.

  • 🧍 If an author accepts the elevation of Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis subsp. tetraodonis (Simidu et al. 1990) Gauthier et al. 1995 to full species status, then Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis subsp. haloplanktis (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Gauthier et al. 1995 should thereafter be designated simply as Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Gauthier et al. 1995.
