Notes:
- Clostridium hungatei is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Clostridium.
- According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published because the effective publication only documents deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Clostridium hungatei Monserrate et al. 2001 is to be considered to be validly published. Publication: Euzeby JP, Tindall BJ.
