¤ Microbacterium Orla-Jensen 1919 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Takeuchi and Hatano 1998.

Note: According to phylogenetic properties and the close relationship in physiological and chemotaxonomic features, the genera Aureobacterium and ¤ Microbacterium should be unified. The name Microbacterium must be chosen for the emended genus (Principle 6, Rule 44) and the genus Aureobacterium is synonymous with the genus Microbacterium (Rule 24a).
Takeuchi and Hatano 1998 propose to transfer ¤ Aureobacterium liquefaciens (ex Orla-Jensen 1919) Collins et al. 1983, the type species of the genus Aureobacterium, to the genus ¤ Microbacterium as ¤ Microbacterium liquefaciens (Collins et al. 1983) Takeuchi and Hatano 1998, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Aureobacterium to ¤ Microbacterium.

Note: In the July 1998 issue of the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, the union of the genera ¤ Microbacterium and Aureobacterium in a redefined genus Microbacterium Orla-Jensen 1919 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Takeuchi and Hatano 1998 has been validly published [1]. The name Aureobacterium resistens Funke et al. 1998 has been effectively published in 1998 [2] and validly published in the April 1998 issue of the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology [3]. Of course, this name was not included in the study by Takeuchi and Hatano 1998 [1]. Thereafter, the new combination Microbacterium resistens was proposed by Behrendt et al. 2001 [4].
