---> ¤ Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis Petursdottir and Kristjansson 1999.

Note: According to Muramatsu et al. 2007, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggests that the genera Ruegeria and ¤ Silicibacter are closely related and should be integrated into one genus (i.e. Ruegeria Uchino et al. 1999 which has priority over ¤ Silicibacter Petursdottir and Kristjansson 1999). However, their differential phenotypic properties do not support this unification. Consequently the authors retain the two species of Silicibacter (¤ Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis Petursdottir and Kristjansson 1999, and ¤ Silicibacter pomeroyi González et al. 2003) in their paper.
