• Notes:
  • 🧕 Brenner et al. (2005) assigned this genus to the family Hyphomicrobiaceae Babudieri 1950 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Garrity GM, Bell JA, Lilburn T. Class I. Alphaproteobacteria class. nov.

  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Ancylobacter Raj 1983.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Methylorlzabdus".
  • ❗ Methylorhabdus 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).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CIP: 1; ATCC: 1; VKM: 1.
  • 🧍 The Greek word rhabdos is in the feminine gender. So, according to Rule 65 (2), the generic name Methylorhabdus is in the feminine gender. Publication: Euzeby JP, Boemare NE. The modern Latin word rhabdus belongs to the feminine gender, inducing necessary corrections according to Rules 65(2), 12c(1) and 13b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1691-1692.
