- The members of the Sucommittee on the Taxonomy of Mollicutes recommended further clarification of the taxonomic status of Mycoplasma feliminutum Heyward et al. 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) since this taxon appears to have properties inconsistent with its genus assignment. Publication: Bradbury JM. ICSB, SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE TAXONOMY OF MOLLICUTES: Minutes of the interim meeting, 12 and 18 July 1996, Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1997; 47:911-914.
