🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Verrucornicrobium".
🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: ATCC: 1; DSM: 1.
😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1".
