Bryantella Wolin et al. 2004, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Bryantella formatexigens Wolin et al. 2004.
Etymology: N.L. dim. fem. n. Bryantella, named in honour of the American microbiologist Marvin P. Bryant in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the microbial ecology of anaerobic ecosystems.
Valid publication: Validation List no. 95. Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2004, 54, 1-2.
Effective publication: WOLIN (M.J.), MILLER (T.L.), COLLINS (M.D.) and LAWSON (P.A.): Formate-dependent growth and homoacetogenic fermentation by a bacterium from human feces: description of Bryantella formatexigens gen. nov., sp. nov. Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 2003, 69, 6321-6326.

→ ¤ Marvinbryantia Wolin et al. 2008, gen. nov.
Note: The name Bryantella Wolin et al. 2004 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of Bryantella Chickering, 1946 (Animalia, Arthropoda, Arachnida, Araneae, Salticidae, Dendryphantinae, Dendryphantini), and a later homonym of Bryantella Britton 1957 (Animalia, Arthropoda, Scarabaeoidea, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae). See Principle 2. Consequently, a new genus designation ¤ Marvinbryantia has been proposed by Wolin et al. 2008.
