Summary auto-generated

This validation list announces the official recognition of new bacterial and archaeal names and combinations previously published elsewhere. Under IJSEM procedures, new microbial names must be formally validated to become official nomenclature. The document validates nine new taxa, including three Actinokineospora species, one new Actinomyces species, a new genus Albidovulum with its type species, two Burkholderia species, a new family Hydrogenothermaceae, two Staphylococcus subspecies, and a new genus Thermodiscus with its type species. Each entry includes the proposed name, original authors, reference citations, and nomenclatural type strain with culture collection accession numbers. Importantly, the valid publication date is the date of this list, not the original publication date. The inclusion of names on this validation list makes them officially available in bacterial nomenclature but does not constitute taxonomic acceptance; organisms may later be reclassified or renamed as taxonomy evolves.

Key findings

  • Nine new bacterial taxa received formal nomenclatural validation through IJSEM Validation List no. 89
  • New taxa include three Actinokineospora species, two Burkholderia species, one new genus Albidovulum, and one new genus Thermodiscus
  • Valid publication date is the date of the validation list, not the original publication date of the names
  • All validated taxa include designated type strains deposited in international culture collections with accession numbers
  • Validation list procedures enable previously published names to achieve official nomenclatural status under IJSEM rules

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.
