It is also questionable whether the genus name can be validly published. Therefore, a new genus name, Frondihabitans gen. nov., is proposed for this taxon. As a result, a new name is proposed for the type species, Frondihabitans australicus sp. nov., to replace the illegitimate combination Frondicola australicus Zhang et al. 2007 . The type strain of Frondihabitans australicus is E1HC-02T (=JCM 13598T =DSM 17894T).", }
