Note: Dr. Y. Kosako checked the 16S rDNA sequence of Photobacterium aplysiae JCM 12948 and found the sequence of the JCM strain to be quite different from that of AY781193 (the sequence which was deposited in the DNA Data Bank). Dr. Y. Kosako raised with Dr. Lee of KCTC this discrepancy concerning the 16S rDNA sequence of Photobacterium aplysiae. Dr. Lee repeated the experiment and obtained the same results as Y. Kosako. Dr. Y. Kosako asked Dr. Kim, the depositor of the original strain for a replacement culture. Dr. Kim stated that he had deposited the wrong strain in both culture collections and that GMD 509 was no longer available due to a freezer breakdown. Thus, Photobacterium aplysiae is without a type strain and GMD509^T is not available from any other source.

2 Snieszko et al. 1964, placed this bacterium in the genus Pasteurella without a specific designation. The name "Pasteurella piscicida" was later proposed by Janssen and Surgalla 1968. Consequently, the correct citation is Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida corrig. (ex Janssen and Surgalla 1968) Gauthier et al. 1995, not Photobacterium damsela subsp. piscicida (sic) (ex Snieszko et al. 1964) Gauthier et al. 1995, as cited in the paper by Gauthier et al. 1995.
3 Based on phenotypic characterization, Photobacterium damsela subsp. piscicida corrig. (ex Janssen and Surgalla 1968) Gauthier et al. 1995 is more related to Photobacterium angustum Reichelt et al. 1979 (Approved Lists 1980) and Photobacterium leiognathi Boisvert et al. 1967 (Approved Lists 1980) than to Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae corrig. (Love et al. 1982) Smith et al. 1991 [1]. Because results obtained by phenotypic analyses are not in accordance with those of genotypic analyses performed by Gauthier et al. [2], further studies should be undertaken to unravel the taxonomic position of this taxon [1].
