🧍 The genome of the type strain was sequenced as part of the GEBA (Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea) project.Publication:

🧍 Leptonema illini Hovind-Hougen 1979 was validly published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology (Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1979, 29, 245-251.) which would qualify it for inclusion in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. The omission of this name from the Approved Lists 1980 is clearly not in accordance with the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision) Rule 24a, Note 1.Publication:
