• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Cribrihabitans Chen et al. 2014. Publication: Chen Z, Liu Y, Liu LZ, Zhong ZP, Liu ZP, Liu Y. Cribrihabitans marinus gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a biological filter in a marine recirculating aquaculture system. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:1257-1263.
  • The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.
