        <curatorial-note>S42880 (segment 1)
S42668 (segment 2)
S42673 (segment 3)

Although the GenBank record uses the heterotypic syn for NR_028242, the strain is type for Methanothrix soehngenii.</curatorial-note>
        <public-note>According to Judicial Opinion 75 this strain is not in pure culture. 16S fragments S42668, S42673 and S42880 have been replaced by AH003991.</public-note>
