→ ¤ Flavobacterium mizutaii (Yabuuchi et al. 1983) Holmes et al. 1988, comb. nov.
Note: The Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision) [1] caters primarily for new names and new combinations and does not address the issue of changes in taxonomic opinion, particularly where an earlier synonym is considered to be the name that corresponds with the data. Gherna and Woese 1992 [2] showed that the type of the species ¤ Flavobacterium mizutaii does not group with the type of the genus ¤ Flavobacterium (¤ Flavobacterium aquatile) and is consistent with placement of this species in the genus Sphingobacterium, not in the genus ¤ Flavobacterium as proposed by Holmes et al. 1988 [3]. The inclusion of this organism in the genus Sphingobacterium is supported by the work of Takeuchi and Yokota 1993 [4], Bernardet et al. 1996 [6], Steyn et al. 1998 [7] and virtually all subsequent publications dealing with members of the genera ¤ Pedobacter and Sphingobacterium. Barry Holmes of the NCTC also accepts the inclusion of this organism in the genus Sphingobacterium (personal communication to Brian J. Tindall of the DSMZ). While the name that often appears in databases is ¤ Flavobacterium mizutaii this is not consistent with widely accepted and published current taxonomic opinion.
