🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Methanomassiliicoccus Dridi et al. 2012.Publication:
Dridi B, Fardeau ML, Ollivier B, Raoult D, Drancourt M. Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a methanogenic archaeon isolated from human faeces. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2012; 62:1902-1907.
😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
🧍 The DSM number cited in the paper by Dridi et al. 2012, DSM 24529, is not in compliance with the wording of Rule 30 (4) of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). Consequently the name Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis is not validly published. A further consequence is that the genus name Methanomassiliicoccus is also not validly published because the name of the type species is not validly published.Publication:

🧍 In the original publication of Dridi et al. 2012, a patent strain, DSM 24529, was erroneously designated as the type strain of the species. — Leibniz Institute DSMZ. Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date, 2018-12-11.
🧍 In the original publication the DSM number that is given, DSM 24529, is a patent strain. Consequently the original publication does not meet the requirements of rules of the Bacteriological Code [see Rule 30 (4).]. This affects valid publication of the genus name and species combination. The correct DSM number of the type strain of the type species appears on Validation List 148.Publication:

🧍 The DSMZ accession number DSM 24529, cited in the paper by Dridi et al. 2012, is a patent deposit. The correct DSMZ accession number must be DSM 25720. — Spring S. Personal communication, 2012-07-17.
