Nomenclatural status: validly published under the ICNP

Taxonomic status: synonym

Correct name: Acidianus Segerer et al. 1986

• Synonyms:

  • Name	Kind
    Acidianus Segerer et al. 1986	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP

• Notes:
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Acidianus Segerer et al. 1986. Publication: Fuchs T, Huber H, Burggraf S, Stetter KO. 16S rDNA-based phylogeny of the archaeal order Sulfolobales and reclassification of Desulfurolobus ambivalens as Acidianus ambivalens comb. nov. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 1996; 19:56-60.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Desulfarolobus"; "Desulfuralabus"; "Desulfuralobus"; "Desuliurolobus".
  • Desulfurolobus is the correct name if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • The authority of the taxon name (Zillig and Böck) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Zillig et al.).
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 1; CIP: 1; DSM: 1.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "DULB" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
