  • Beijerinckia fluminensis is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species within a separate genus Beijerinckia.
  • Strains UQM 1685 and CIP 106281 were identified as Rhizobium radiobacter [1], leaving Beijerinckia fluminensis without an authentic type. In July 2011, Oggerin et al. [2] propose that the Judicial Commission places the name Beijerinckia fluminensis on the list of rejected names (see Rule 56a), unless a suitable replacement type strain or a neotype is found or proposed (see Rule 18c). As yet this request is provisional. Publication: Oggerin M, Rubio V, Marin I, Arahal DR. The status of the species Beijerinckia fluminensis Dobereiner and Ruschel 1958. Request for an Opinion.
