Summary auto-generated
This document is a validation list that formally establishes the valid publication of new bacterial names and taxonomic combinations in bacterial nomenclature. The International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology publishes validation lists to record bacterial taxa initially described elsewhere, making their names officially available in bacteriological nomenclature. This Validation List No. 70 includes 13 new names and combinations: one new genus (Desulforhopalus) and one new species within it, five new Pseudomonas species, three new combinations within the genus Sphingomonas, one new Thermococcus species, one new Vibrio species, one new Facklamia species, and one new Zoogloea species. The date of valid publication is the date this list appears in print, not the original publication date of the names. The list includes strain designations and culture collection accession numbers for each taxon. Notably, inclusion on this validation list does not constitute taxonomic acceptance but merely makes names officially available for use. Some names may eventually be designated as synonyms or transferred to different genera as taxonomic knowledge evolves.
Key findings
- Validation List No. 70 officially establishes 13 new bacterial names and combinations previously published elsewhere
- Validated taxa include bacteria from diverse environments: sulfate-reducing bacteria from estuaries, Pseudomonas species isolated from mineral waters and resin-degrading environments, and thermophilic archaea
- The valid publication date is the date of the validation list, not the original publication date of the names
- Three Sphingomonas species were reassigned from other genera (Blastomonas, Rhizomonas, and Erythromonas)
- Nomenclatural validation is distinct from taxonomic acceptance; organisms may later be reclassified as taxonomic knowledge improves

Abstract
The purpose of this announcement is to effect the valid publication of the following new names and new combinations under the procedure described previously [Int J Syst Bacteriol 27(3), iv (1977)]. Authors and other individuals wishing to have new names and/or combinations included in future lists should send the pertinent reprint or a photocopy thereof to the IJSB Editorial Office for confirmation that all of the other requirements for valid publication have been met. It should be noted that the date of valid publication of these new names and combinations is the date of publication of this list, not the date of the original publication of the names and combinations. The authors of the new names and combinations are as given below, and these authors' names will be included in the author index of the present issue and in the volume author index. Inclusion of a name on these lists validates the name and thereby makes it available in bacteriological nomenclature. The inclusion of a name on this list is not to be construed as taxonomic acceptance of the taxon to which the name is applied. Indeed, some of these names may, in time, be shown to be synonyms, or the organisms may be transferred to another genus, thus necessitating the creation of a new combination.
