  • 🧍 The Candidatus List has changed the type genus of Nanohalarchaeota corrig. from Nanosalina to Nanohalarchaeum corrig., which fits to the phylum name and has taxonomically been assigned to the phylum. The Candidatus List also corrected the spelling of the phylum name, although this was not explicitly mentioned.
