validly published under the ICNP
homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP
Notes:
❗ Myxococcusmacrosporus is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Myxococcus.

🧍 In 2005, H. Reichenbach [1] proposed the new combination Corallococcus macrosporus (basonym Myxococcus macrosporus). However, the type strain was designated as Cc m8 (= DSM 14697 = CIP 109128), not as strain Windsor M271. Consequently, in Validation List 115 [2], Corallococcus macrosporus was cited as Corallococcus macrosporus Reichenbach 2007, sp. nov.Publication:
