Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 48, part 2 of the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1998; 48:633-634. Notes:
Emendation accompanied by the removal of 15 species from 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:
Goodfellow and Williams (1983) assigned this genus to the uncategorized "Maduromycetes" Goodfellow and Williams 1983.Publication:
