🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Thioalkalimicro".
❗ Thioalkalimicrobium is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is -0.00465 (N = 4).
🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 5; NCCB: 2; JCM: 1; CBS: 1.
🧍 The original spelling of the name, Thioalkalimicrobium (sic), was corrected by the List Editor of the IJSEM to Thialkalimicrobium (IJSEM 51:796). This correction was withdrawn following a decision of the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (Xth International [IUMS] Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology 2002).Publication:

🧍 However, during the meeting of the Judicial Commission held during the Xth International (IUMS) Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology [2], H.G. Trüper proposed that the recommendations governing the use of the connecting vowel should be overruled by the usage in chemistry and physics. Consequently, in combined names, which include terms used in chemistry or physics the connecting vowel shall not be dropped when the following component starts with a vowel and when this may cause ambiguity or uncertainty in meaning [2]. The Judicial Commission unanimously agreed to this proposal [2] and the original spelling, Thioalkalimicrobium, must be used.Publication:
