Notes:
1 Grimontia Thompson et al. 2003 is illegitimate because the type species is not validly published.
2 The genus name Grimontia is a N.L. fem. n. in the nominative case, not a N.L. n. in the genitive case as cited by Thompson et al. 2003.

Note: According to Rules 27(3) and 30 [1], this new combination is not validly published because the effective publication only documents deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However deposit in at least one other recognized culture collections in a different country is documented. In a Request for an Opinion, Euzéby and Tindall provide a solution whereby this name may be considered to be validly published [2].
