Notes:
-
🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Zymomonas mobilis subsp. pomaceae (Millis 1956) De Ley and Swings 1976 (Approved Lists 1980) but an explicit description was also provided.

- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.

🧍 In the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, Zymomonas mobilis subsp. mobilis is erroneously cited as Zymomonas mobilis subsp. mobilis (Lindner 1928) Kluyver and van Niel 1936.
