  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • ❗ Fundibacter 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).
