The name Flavihumibacter fluminis Park et al. 2022, which was effectively published but invalidated, is an illegitimate
homonymic epithet of Flavihumibacter fluminis Guo et al. 2023. The low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and genomic
relatedness between the type strains IMCC34837T
and RY-1T of the two homonymic species indicated that they are different
species. To avoid further confusion, we propose a new name Flavihumibacter fluvii sp. nov. to replace the effectively
published but invalidated homonymic epithet Flavihumibacter fluminis Park et al. 2022.
