  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Membranincola".
  • 🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP. Publication: Bowman JP, Hugo C, Nicholson A, Hahnke R, Lau EF, Holmes B, Sutcliffe I. International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes: Subcommittee on the taxonomy of aerobic Bacteroidota. Minutes of the online meeting 25 April 2023. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6144.
  • 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CGMCC: 1; JCM: 1.
