Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2006; 56:2433-2436. 🇷🇺 Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 56, part 10 of the IJSEM.

  Notes:
  - ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
  - 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

Notes:
- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Nedashkovskaya et al. (2006), Park et al. (2022). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
