    <curatorial-note>TODO (garrity): In rid.18439, second to last paragraph on the bottom right of page 11, I believe there is a typo where it says the following:

"Further,we propose the new family Microscillaceae to accomodate Bernardetia and Eisenibacter as well as the new family Bernardetiaceae to accommodate Bernardetia, Hugenholtzia and tentatively also Garritya."

The genus Bernardetia is assigned twice to two different families, I believe it should be Thermoflexibacter that was meant to be placed within Microscillaceae. However, there is no mention elsewhere for the parent of Thermoflexibacter to validate this claim.</curatorial-note>
