Proposal of the genus Sphingomonas sensu stricto and three new genera, Sphingobium, Novosphingobium and Sphingopyxis, on the basis of phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses. 2001 51 4 1405 1417 International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 1466-5026 1466-5034 10.1099/00207713-51-4-1405 11491340 TODO (garrity): RFO Yabuuchi asserted Sphingobium as a junior objective synonym of Sphingomonas based on phylogeny and chemotaxonomy. However, since Sphingobium was based on a non-type species of Sphingomonas, this assertion is invalid and it could only be a heterotypic synonym. For now, I've recorded this as a later heterotypic synonym and marked it as ignored because new species continue to be added to the taxon.
