Effective publication: Loginova GBU, Egorova LA. A new species of obligate thermophilic bacteria, Flavobacterium thermophilum. Mikrobiologia 1978; 47:1081-1084.

IJSEM list: Anonymous. Validation list no. 8. Validation of publication of new names and new combinations previously effectively published outside the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1982; 32:266-268.

Nomenclatural status: validly published under the ICNP

Taxonomic status: correct name

Risk group: 1

Notes:
- The authority of the taxon name (Loginova and Egorova) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Loginova et al.).
- According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "species affiliates with the Firmicutes, and is a true member of Anoxybacillus and needs revision". Publication: Ludwig W, Viver T, Westram R, Francisco Gago J, Bustos-Caparros E, Knittel K, Amann R, Rossello-Mora R. Release LTP_12_2020, featuring a new ARB alignment and improved 16S rRNA tree for prokaryotic type strains. Syst Appl Microbiol 2021; 44:126218.
- Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession HF558369, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit CCUG 22402, an affiliation with Flavobacteriaceae (Flavobacteria) but observed an affiliation with Bacillales (Firmicutes) and 99.7% similarity against Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis.

- The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the type strain shows an unexpected affiliation with the order Bacillales (99.7% similarity against Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis).
