Sulfitobacter Sorokin 1996 emend. Liang et al. 2021
Nomenclatural History
The genus Sulfitobacter was originally proposed by Sorokin 1995. This name became validly published when it appeared on Validation List No. 56 in 1996. Yoon et al. published an emended description of this genus in 2007. A subsequent emendation was proposed by Liang et al. in 2021. Yoon et al. transferred the members of Labrenz et al. 2000 into this genus in 2007.

Adoption of the emendation of Liang et al. 2021 requires the caveat that Sulfitobacter pseudonitzschiae cannot be excluded from the genus.
