Nomenclatural History
The species Paracoccus pantotrophus was originally described and validly published by Rainey et al. 1999. Hördt et al. published an emended description of this species in 2020. Rainey et al. formed this name in 1999 by placing the species Robertson and Kuenen 1984 into the genus Davis et al. 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Liu et al. 2008.

Ludwig et al. 1993 combined the species Thiosphaera pantotropha and Paracoccus denitrificans into a single species (P. denitrificans) making them heterotypic synonyms and unifying the genera Thiosphaera and Paracoccus. Rainey et al. 1999. re-evaluated the synonymy and separated the two taxa moving the strains originally designated as T. pantotropha to a new name, Paracoccus pantotrophus comb. nov. This move evocatively removed the heterotypic synonymy.
