📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the associated publication is not functional any more.
⊖ Emendation accompanied by the removal of 2 species from the genus.
⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
🧍 Imhoff (2003) [1] also proposes an emendation of the species "Chlorobium ferrooxidans" effectively published in 1999 by Heising et al. [2]. However, "Chlorobium ferrooxidans" Heising et al. is not validly published and the emendation of this species is not cited in this file.
