Summary auto-generated
This Validation List No. 93 announces the official valid publication of 13 newly named bacterial taxa and combinations that were previously published elsewhere. The list includes one new genus (Anoxynatronum), seven new species and subspecies, and several amendments to existing taxa. Examples include Cetobacterium somerae from human feces, Salinisphaera shabanensis from the Red Sea, Enhygromyxa salina from coastal Japan, and multiple Streptomyces and Streptacidiphilus species from soil environments. All organisms listed have type strains deposited in at least two recognized culture collections in different countries, meeting International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology requirements. The valid publication date is the date of this list, not the original publication date. The document clarifies that inclusion validates nomenclatural status but does not constitute taxonomic acceptance; names may later be reclassified or synonymized. This is a routine announcement under the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), continuing a series of validation lists that formalize new bacterial nomenclature across the scientific literature.
Key findings
- Validation List 93 officially recognizes 13 newly named bacterial taxa including Salinisphaera shabanensis from extreme deep-sea environments and multiple Streptomyces species from soil
- All validated organisms have type strains deposited in at least two culture collections in different countries, meeting standardized microbiology requirements
- Valid publication date is the date of the list, not the original publication date, establishing a formal nomenclatural record
- The list includes novel bacteria from diverse environments: halophilic (salt-loving), acidophilic, and anaerobic organisms
- Nomenclatural validation does not imply taxonomic acceptance; names may be reclassified or synonymized in future studies

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.
