Some prokaryotic (bacterial) names without standing in nomenclature

Some prokaryotic names without standing in nomenclature

Number of names cited in this file: 938

Introduction

A frequently asked question is "why a name in current use does not appear in the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature?"
Of course, it is possible that I have made an error or an omission. However, more often, the name is not included because it has no standing in nomenclature.

The Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), together with changes approved and published by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (see Alterations to the Bacteriological Code), is the cornerstone of prokaryotic nomenclature. It states that the name of a new taxon, or a new combination for an existing taxon, is validly published if one of the following criteria is met.

1) The name is cited in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.

The Approved Lists of Bacterial Names contain all the prokaryotic names having standing in nomenclature on 1 January 1980 and they set a new starting point in prokaryotic nomenclature [Rule 24a]. When bacteriologists agreed to make a new start in prokaryotic nomenclature, they were faced with tens of thousands of names in the literature of the past. Except 2,336 names, it was impossible to tell exactly what prokaryotes they referred to. These 2,336 were therefore retained in the Approved Lists. See: Sneath and Brenner: "Official" nomenclature lists. ASM News, 1992, 58, 175 (available on the Internet).

2) The name is published in papers in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology (IJSB) or in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) and conforms to requirements laid down in the Bacteriological Code.

3) The name is validly published by announcement in a validation list.

Validation Lists are lists published in the IJSB/IJSEM, serving as a mechanism for validly publishing prokaryotic names which have been effectively*, but not validly published.
Announcement in a Validation List is primarily the responsibility of the author(s) of the new names or new combinations. However, other individuals may also submit a new name or new combination for valid publication, provided it conforms to the rules of the code. Scientists wishing to have new names and/or combinations included in a list should send the pertinent reprint or a photocopy or a PDF file thereof to the IJSEM Editorial Office**. Citation in a Validation List is not automatic! Papers will be reviewed by a IJSEM Editor and by the Lists Editor.

Starting in August 2002, it is also a requirement of the IJSEM and the ICSP (International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes) that authors of new species, new subspecies and new combinations provide evidence that types are deposited in at least two recognized culture collections in two different countries.
On 29 July 2002, the Judicial Commission confirmed this decision, although rare exceptions can be accepted in those cases where maintenance conditions for the culture are so exceptional (e.g. obligate barophilies or extremely virulent pathogens) that not more than one culture collection can be found which is able to maintain the strain.

→ ¤ Rhodopseudomonas boonkerdii Noisangiam et al., sp. nov.
Note: In the original conclusion, Noisangiam et al. proposed the isolated strain NS23 as a new genus in the family Bradyrhizobiaceae due to the use of the wrong sequence of the 16S rRNA gene (AB498818) of the type strain. After the use of the correct sequence (D25312), strain NS23 did not fall outside the genus Rhodopseudomonas. Therefore, this change alters the original conclusion: strain NS23 is not a new genus but a new species of Rhodopseudomonas. Among all species of Rhodopseudomonas, strain NS23 most closely resembled Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Rhodopseudomonas rhenobacensis and Rhodopseudomonas faecalis at a similar level of 97–98%. However, substantial physiological differences existed between strain NS23 and these three species of Rhodopseudomonas. Differentiation of strain NS23 from other taxa was confirmed by data of the cellular fatty acid content and also by multilocus sequence analysis, showing that strain NS23 fell into a single major cluster distinguished from the other compared species. Therefore, Noisangiam et al. propose strain NS23 as a new species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas, with the name Rhodopseudomonas boonkerdii.

Note: In 2009, Leao et al. proposed the union of Mycobacterium bolletii and Mycobacterium massiliense, and the recognition of two subspecies within Mycobacterium abscessus: Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus and Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense. The proposal of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense is not in accordance with the Rules of the Bacteriological Code, because the epithet bolletii has priority over the epithet massiliense.

Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol, 1997, 47, 1236-1245.
Notes:

The authors also suggest the name "Mycobacterium canetti".

In several articles, this taxon is also cited as "Mycobacterium tuberculosis subsp. canettii". Of course, "Mycobacterium tuberculosis subsp. canettii" (named in honour of Caneti) is more correct than "Mycobacterium tuberculosis subsp. canetti".

In several articles, this taxon is not written in quotes.

*: Effective publication

- Publication of the name and description of a taxon in a recognized scientific printed and/or electronic material publication [Rule 23a Note 5 and Rule 25a]. The publications must be conform to requirements laid down in the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision).

- No other kind of publication (communications at meetings, minutes of meetings, abstracts of papers presented at meetings, catalogues of collections, microfilms, nonscientific periodicals, newsletters, patents...) is accepted as effective [Rule 25b].

- When a name of a new taxon is published in a work written in a language unfamiliar to the majority of workers in bacteriology, it is recommended that the author(s) include in the effective publication a description in English [Rule 25a].

- Date of effective publication does not determine priority [Rules 23b and 27].
Example: Haemophilus felis was effectively published in 1992 (J. Clin. Microbiol., 1992, 30, 2108-2112.) but validly published in 1999 (Validation List no. 69: Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1999, 49, 341-342). The date of this name is 1999.

- When proposed in full articles in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology or in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology the publications are automatically effective and valid publications [Rule 27]. However, the publications must be conform to requirements laid down in the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision).
