Proposal of names for 329 higher rank taxa defined in the Genome Taxonomy Database under two prokaryotic codes. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2023; 0:0.
  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae Imhoff 1984. Publication: Xia J, Zhao JX, Sang J, Chen GJ, Du ZJ. Halofilum ochraceum gen. nov., sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from a marine solar saltern. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:932-938.
  • ❗ Halofilaceae is the correct name instead if this family is regarded as a separate family (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another family whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
