Summary auto-generated
This article is a validation announcement from the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) that formally establishes the valid publication of 23 new bacterial names and combinations previously published elsewhere. The announcement follows the Bacteriological Code procedure and includes new genera (Geopsychrobacter, Geothermobacter, Lactovum, Nicoletella), new species across multiple genera (including Burkholderia, Nocardia, Psychrobacter, Salmonella, and others), and new families (Conexibacteraceae, Solirubrobacteraceae, Thermoleophilaceae). Each entry specifies nomenclatural type strains with their accession numbers from recognized international culture collections in multiple countries. The document clarifies that the valid publication date is when this list appears in IJSEM, not the original publication date. It notes that inclusion validates nomenclatural availability but does not constitute taxonomic acceptance, and some names may later prove to be synonyms or require reclassification. Several footnotes document corrections to strain designations and typographical errors from original publications.
Key findings
- 23 new bacterial names and combinations were formally validated for nomenclatural availability through this IJSEM publication list
- All validated taxa had type strains deposited in at least two recognized culture collections in different countries, meeting international nomenclatural requirements
- Multiple taxonomically significant genera were validated including psychrotolerant bacteria, thermophilic organisms, and species from diverse environments such as hydrothermal vents and contaminated subsurface sediments
- Several strain designation corrections were necessary, documenting errors in original protologues that were corrected during the validation process
- Valid publication date is established as the date of this validation list, establishing priority for nomenclatural purposes

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 publication of 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.
