• Notes:
  • 🧍 Vibrio alginolyticus subsp. iophagus (ex Welton and Woods 1973) Emod et al. 1983 is illegitimate because it has incorrectly be proposed as chemovar.

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:5585.
  • 🧍 Emod et al. 1983 proposed "chemovar Iophagus" rather than "subspecies iophagus" as interpreted by Moore et al. 1985. Chemovars have no taxonomic standing and the name Vibrio alginolyticus subsp. (chemovar) iophagus is an illegitimate name and has no standing in nomenclature. Publication: . Erratum. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1989; 39:95.
