Summary auto-generated
This is Validation List No. 74 from the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, which formally validates new bacterial and archaeal names and combinations previously published in other journals. The validation process ensures that newly proposed microbial taxa meet all nomenclatural requirements under the Bacteriological Code. Eight new bacterial and archaeal taxa are validated in this list, including two new genera (Coprobacillus and Heliorestis) and six new species. The organisms span diverse habitats and metabolic types: Coprobacillus catenaformis from human feces, Halomonas campisalis from alkaline environments, Heliorestis daurensis from a Siberian soda lake, Methylomonas scandinavica from Swedish groundwater, Saccharothrix tangerinus (an antibiotic producer), Thermococcus siculi from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, and two thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria (Thermodesulfobacterium hveragerdense and Thermodesulfovibrio islandicus) from an Icelandic hot spring. The date of valid publication is the publication date of this validation list, not the original publication date. Inclusion on the list validates nomenclatural status but does not constitute taxonomic acceptance, as organisms may later be reclassified or their names recognized as synonyms.
Key findings
- Eight new microbial taxa are formally validated, including two new genera and six new species from diverse environments
- The organisms originate from varied habitats including human feces, saline lakes, groundwater, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and hot springs
- One validated species (Saccharothrix tangerinus) is notable as a producer of the antibiotic formamicin
- Validation establishes nomenclatural status effective from the date of this publication list rather than original publication dates
- Validation list inclusion makes names available in bacteriological nomenclature but does not constitute definitive taxonomic acceptance

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 IJSEM 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.
