🚃 The type genus of this family has alternatively been placed in the family Rhodospirillaceae Pfennig and Trüper 1971 (Approved Lists 1980).Publication:
Williams TJ, Lefevre CT, Zhao W, Beveridge TJ, Bazylinski DA. Magnetospira thiophila gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine magnetotactic bacterium that represents a novel lineage within the Rhodospirillaceae (Alphaproteobacteria). Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2012; 62:2443-2450.
❗ Magnetospiraceae 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).
