⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

🧕 Liu et al. (2010) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006.Publication:
Liu Y, Xu CJ, Jiang JT, Liu YH, Song XF, Li H, Liu ZP. Catellibacterium aquatile sp. nov., isolated from fresh water, and emended description of the genus Catellibacterium Tanaka et al. 2004. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:2027-2031.
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Gemmobacter Rothe et al. 1988.Publication:
Chen WM, Cho NT, Huang WC, Young CC, Sheu SY. Description of Gemmobacter fontiphilus sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater spring, reclassification of Catellibacterium nectariphilum as Gemmobacter nectariphilus comb. nov., Catellibacterium changlense as Gemmobacter changlensis comb. nov., Catellibacterium aquatile as Gemmobacter aquaticus nom. nov., Catellibacterium caeni as Gemmobacter caeni comb. nov., Catellibacterium nanjingense as Gemmobacter nanjingensis comb. nov., and emended description of the genus Gemmobacter and of Gemmobacter aquatilis.

❗ Catellibacterium 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).
