Taxonomic remark Included as an accepted genus of fossil Bacteria in Armstrong & Brasier, 2013, however Williams, 2012 states that Schopf & Walter, 1983 consider Eobacterium to be "non fossil", a statement repeated by D. Edwards (Bacteria chapter author in Benton, 1993) who states: "Rod-shaped structures (Eobacterium isolatum) from the Onverwacht Group (SA, = South Africa) examined ultrastructurally by Barghoorn & Schopf are now considered to be modern contaminants of preparation." (Relevant ref. is Schopf & Walter, 1983, Archean microfossils: new evidence of ancient microbes. In Schopf, J.W., ed.: Earth's Earliest Biosphere.) [details]
