🧍 The species name Fluoribacter gormanii (Morris et al. 1980) Brown et al. 1981 is a correct name (Principle 6). According to his/her scientific opinion, a bacteriologist may use the species names Fluoribacter gormanii (Morris et al. 1980) Brown et al. 1981 or Legionella gormanii Morris et al. 1980. However, the names Fluoribacter Garrity et al. 1980, Fluoribacter bozemanae Garrity et al. 1980, Fluoribacter gormanii (Morris et al. 1980) Brown et al. 1981, and Fluoribacter dumoffii (Brenner et al. 1980) Brown et al. 1981 have never found widespread usage.Publication:
