Nomenclatural status: validly published under the ICNP

Taxonomic status: synonym

Correct name: Olsenella Dewhirst et al. 2001

• Synonyms:

  • Name	Kind
    Olsenella Dewhirst et al. 2001	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 Olsenella Dewhirst et al. 2001. Publication: Kraatz M, Wallace RJ, Svensson L. Olsenella umbonata sp. nov., a microaerotolerant anaerobic lactic acid bacterium from the sheep rumen and pig jejunum, and emended descriptions of Olsenella, Olsenella uli and Olsenella profusa. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:795-803.
  • Parafannyhessea 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 BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1; JCM: 1; CCUG: 1.
  • The authors claim that in the analysis conducted by Nouioui et al. (2018) "the genus Olsenella appeared to be paraphyletic". However, Nouioui et al. (2018) stated that "Supermatrix analyses [...] confirmed Atopobium as paraphyletic, whereas monophyly of Olsenella was unresolved due to the uncertain location of O. scatoligenes". The supplementary material of Nouioui et al. (2018) shows Olsenella umbonata forming the sister group of Olsenella uli with maximum support. In contrast, Fig. 2 in Zgheib et al. (2021) does not show support for Olsenella umbonata not belonging to the clade that includes Olsenella uli.
