“…The addition of several new genera, namely Pseudodesulfovibrio ( Cao et al, 2016 ), Halodesulfovibrio ( Shivani et al, 2017 ), “Mailhella” ( Ndongo et al, 2017 ), Desulfohalovibrio , Desulfocurvibacter ( Spring et al, 2019 ), “ Paradesulfovibrio” ( Kim et al, 2020 ), and Desulfolutivibrio ( Thiel et al, 2020 ), finally led to a major reorganization based on the genome sequence data ( Waite et al, 2020 ), resulting in Desulfovibrionaceae currently comprising nine validly published genera ( Fundidesulfovibrio, Humidesulfovibrio, Maridesulfovibrio, Megalodesulfovibrio, Nitratidesulfovibrio, Oleidesulfovibrio, Paradesulfovibrio, Paucidesulfovibrio , and Solidesulfovibrio ) and three published but not validated genera ( “Alteridesulfovibrio,” “Aminidesulfovibrio,” and “Frigididesulfovibrio” ) besides the existing genera. Reorganizing the confusing taxonomy of the Desulfovibrionaceae family was completed by adding two valid [ Macrodesulfovibrio ( Galushko and Kuever, 2020b ), Oceanidesulfovibrio ( Galushko and Kuever, 2020c )] and one invalid genera [“ Psychrodesulfovibrio ” ( Galushko and Kuever, 2020d )] at the end of 2020 through Bergey’s manual ( Galushko and Kuever, 2020a ). As of August 2021, the Desulfovibrionaceae family comprised 21 validated genera, one synonym, and five non-validated genera.…”
