🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 3; ATCC: 1.
🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "MEPN" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.Publication:
Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
🧍 Initial 16S rRNA-DNA hybridization experiments indicated that Methanoplanus Wildgruber et al. 1984 should be placed as a separate family, the Methanoplanaceae Wildgruber et al. 1984, within the order Methanomicrobiales Balch and Wolfe 1981. However, later 16S rRNA sequence comparisons indicated that Methanoplanus species are closely related to members of the genera Methanomicrobium Balch and Wolfe 1981, Methanogenium Romesser et al. 1981, and Methanoculleus Maestrojuán et al. 1990, which all belong to the family Methanomicrobiaceae Balch and Wolfe 1981. Therefore, the genus Methanoplanus should be placed within this family and the family Methanoplanaceae Wildgruber et al. 1984 should no longer be recognized.Publication:
