IJSEM list:
Anonymous. Validation list no. 48. Validation of publication of new names and new combinations previously effectively published outside the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1994; 44:182-183.
However, this new combination was not described according to the Rules of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), and it was not cited in the Notification List published in the March 2000 issue of the IJSEM [2].Publication:
Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 50, part 1 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:425-426.
In the January 2000 issue of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, Wasserfallen et al. [1] proposed to transfer Methanobacterium defluvii Kotelnikova et al. 1994 into the new genus Methanothermobacter as "Methanothermobacter defluvii" (Kotelnikova et al. 1994) Wasserfallen et al. 2000, comb. nov. However, this new combination was not described according to the Rules of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), and it was not cited in the Notification List published in the March 2000 issue of the IJSEM [2]. Later, Methanothermobacter defluvii was listed in the second edition of the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology [3] and it was validly published in Validation List n° 85 (Cf. infra) [4].Publication:
Wasserfallen A, Nolling J, Pfister P, Reeve J, Conway de Macario E. Phylogenetic analysis of 18 thermophilic Methanobacterium isolates supports the proposals to create a new genus, Methanothermobacter gen. nov., and to reclassify several isolates in three species, Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus comb. nov., Methanothermobacter wolfeii comb. nov., and Methanothermobacter marburgensis sp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:43-53.
Later, Methanothermobacter defluvii was listed in the second edition of the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology [3] and it was validly published in Validation List no. 85 (Cf. infra) [4].Publication:
