Microbio. 1664-302X 10.3389/fmicb.2021.683109 34248901 Note from Aharon Oren (on VL 202, September 2021): Potentially OK after we will receive documentation (in English) of the availability of the type strain of the proposed type species from two culture collections. This new combination by Liang et al. 2021 would remove the type species of Paenirhodobacter. This results in a unification of the genus Paenirhodobacter into Sinirhodobacter. This cannot happen since the genus Paenirhodobacter Wang et al. 2014 has priority over Sinirhodobacter corrig. Yang et al. 2018. This new combination is therefore illegitimate.
