  • 🧍 According to Yarza et al. (2013), an "orphan species with designated type strains that were either not deposited in culture collections or whose type strain is currently not available from a recognized culture collection. Not available in JCM.". Publication: Yarza P, Sproer C, Swiderski J, Mrotzek N, Spring S, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Pukall R, Klenk HP, Lang E, et al.

  • 🧍 All cultures (except microalgae) preserved at the IAM Culture Collection (Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, The University of Tokyo) have been transferred to JCM (Japan Collection of Microorganisms). However, the strain IAM 64 is no longer available at the JCM catalog and most probably there is not alternative collection. — Yarza P. Personal communication, 2009-12-01.
