Summary auto-generated

This article announces the valid publication of 16 new bacterial names and combinations previously published outside the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM). The document serves as an official validation list under the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), making these names formally available in bacteriological nomenclature. New taxa include five Amycolatopsis species/subspecies, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Clostridium bolteae, and several newly described genera such as Croceibacter, Diaphorobacter, Halosimplex, Muricoccus, Teichococcus, and Tistrella, among others. Each entry includes nomenclatural type strains with accession numbers from recognized international culture collections in different countries. The document emphasizes that valid publication dates correspond to the validation list publication date, not the original publication date. It clarifies that inclusion validates names for nomenclatural purposes but does not constitute taxonomic acceptance, as organisms may later be reclassified as synonyms or transferred to different genera. Authors of new taxa must deposit type strains in two recognized culture collections in two different countries and provide documentation of deposition.

Key findings

  • Sixteen new bacterial species, subspecies, and genera received valid nomenclatural publication through this validation list
  • Type strains must be deposited in two recognized culture collections in two different countries as a requirement for valid publication
  • The official date of valid publication is the date of the validation list publication, not the date of the original description
  • Inclusion on the validation list makes names available in bacteriological nomenclature but does not imply taxonomic acceptance
  • Organisms may later be recognized as synonyms or transferred to other genera, requiring creation of new combinations

Abstract

The purpose of this announcement is to effect the valid publication of the following new names and new combinations under the procedure described in the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). Authors and other individuals wishing to have new names and/or combinations included in future lists should send three copies of the pertinent reprint or photocopies thereof to the IJSEM Editorial Office for confirmation that all of the other requirements for valid publication have been met. It is also a requirement of IJSEM and the ICSP that authors of new species, new subspecies and new combinations provide evidence that types are deposited in two recognized culture collections in two different countries (i.e. documents certifying deposition and availability of type strains). 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.
