 ===== About =====
   * Agrobacteria-rhizobia complex (ARC) is a diverse group of plant-associated bacteria in the family [[https://lpsn.dsmz.de/family/rhizobiaceae|Rhizobiaceae]]. This website is created to provide curated information about these bacteria.
+    * Based on the expertise of current [[contributors|contributors]], the site is more focused on agrobacteria.
   * Names ([[https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003426]])
-    * Agrobacteria
+    * Agrobacteria (common name, not italicized)
       * Bacteria that cause (or potentially may cause) crown gall or hairy root disease
       * Have (or can have) tumor-inducing plasmids (pTi)
       * A polyphyletic and heterogeneous group that include many species belonging to several different genera (e.g., //Agrobacterium//, //Allorhizobium//, //Rhizobium//)
-    * Rhizobia
+    * Rhizobia (common name, not italicized)
       * Bacteria that induce nodule formation on a legume host and perform nitrogen fixation
+      * The nitrogen fixation function is often associated with symbiotic plasmids (pSym)
+      * A polyphyletic and heterogeneous group that include many species belonging to several different genera (e.g., //Rhizobium//, //Neorhizobium//)
+    * //Agrobacterium// and //Rhizobium// (genus names, always italicized and capitalized)
+      * The meaning and the corresponding biological entities changed multiple times according to taxonomy revisions; often misused
