Summary auto-generated
This validation list (No. 75) formally registers 16 new bacterial species and genera that were previously published in other journals but required official validation in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. The organisms validated include several sulfate-reducing bacteria (Desulfobacula, Desulfonema, Desulfovibrio, Desulfotomaculum), halophilic bacteria (Halomonas), and reclassified genera from earlier taxonomic work (Finegoldia, Micromonas from Peptostreptococcus). A new genus Geovibrio was validated for an iron-reducing bacterium. Several names underwent spelling corrections according to bacteriological nomenclature rules. The validation list also establishes Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. palearctica and automatically creates Y. enterocolitica subsp. enterocolitica. Type strains with repository accession numbers from international culture collections are designated for each taxon. The document clarifies that validation date is the publication date of this list, not the original publication date, and that inclusion does not constitute automatic taxonomic acceptance but makes names available for bacteriological nomenclature.
Key findings
- Sixteen new bacterial species and genera received valid publication through this validation list
- Multiple sulfate-reducing and metabolically diverse bacteria were formally registered, including iron-reducers and halophiles
- Several Peptostreptococcus species were reclassified into new genera (Finegoldia and Micromonas)
- Type strains with international culture collection accession numbers were designated as nomenclatural types for all taxa
- Spelling corrections were applied to several species epithets according to the Bacteriological Code

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.
