• Notes:
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 0 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
  • 🧍 Orthographical correction conducted in Judicial Opinion 118. Publication: Arahal et al. Judicial Opinion No. 122. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5481.
  • 🧍 The genus name Ferdinandcohnia is correctly derived from the name of the 19th century German microbiologist Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Cohn. This derivation is explained in the etymology section of the genus description in the effective publication. However, the headers of the genus and species protologues list this name as Fredinandcohnia, which makes no sense. While LPSN would have preferred to treat Fredinandcohnia as a misprint of Ferdinandcohnia, the IJSEM notification list used the spelling Fredinandcohnia. Since notification lists are entitled to conduct orthographical corrections, Fredinandcohnia needs to be accepted for the time being. LPSN now lists Ferdinandcohnia as a misspelling (although it not actually is as misspelling) in order to provide a separate entry for this actually preferable name. Publication: Parte AC, Sarda Carbasse J, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Reimer LC, Goker M. List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) moves to the DSMZ. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:5607-5612.
  • 🧍 This name was not found in the expected IJSEM notification list.
