Strain ATCC 14264 = DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 does not exhibit one of the original diagnostic features of Corynebacterium ilicis, namely pathogenesis on American holly, and cannot represent this species. In contrast, Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961, represented by the strain ICMP 2608 = ICPB CI144, is pathogenic for American holly.

- Following a Request for an Opinion [1], the Judicial Commission [2] has therefore ruled (i) that ATCC 14264 = DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 cannot serve as the type of the species Corynebacterium ilicis, but may serve as the type of a different taxon, Arthrobacter ilicis; and (ii) that the name Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 is represented by the type strain ICMP 2608 = ICPB CI144.

Consequently, (i) Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 (Approved Lists 1980) is not a homotypic synonym of Arthrobacter ilicis; and (ii) Arthrobacter ilicis must be cited as Arthrobacter ilicis Collins et al. 1982, not as Arthrobacter ilicis (Mandel et al. 1961) Collins et al. 1982, comb. nov.

In the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, the type strain of Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 is cited as ATCC 14264. Although it was initially thought that ATCC 14264 = DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 were derived from a strain that Mandel et al. 1961 considered to be pathogenic on American holly (Ilex opaca), this has proven not to be the case. Strain ATCC 14264 = DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 does not exhibit one of the original diagnostic features of Corynebacterium ilicis, namely pathogenesis on American holly, and cannot represent this species. In contrast, Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961, represented by the strain ICMP 2608 = ICPB CI144, is pathogenic for American holly.
