• Notes:
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
  • 🧍 Regarded as not validly published. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and several key phenotypic features, it was ascertained that the cultures cited as the type strain of the species Pectinatus portalensis, CECT 5841 and LMG 22865, do not conform to the original description. The type strain does not exist in any other established culture collection or with the authors who described this species. Therefore, it cannot be included in any scientific study. Vereecke and Arahal 2008 request that the Judicial Commission places the name Pectinatus portalensis on the list of rejected names if a suitable replacement type strain is not found or a neotype is not proposed within two years following the publication of this Request for an Opinion. Opinion 99 rules instaed that the name Pectinatus portalensis is not validly published. Publication: Vereecke C, Arahal DR. The status of the species Pectinatus portalensis Gonzalez et al. 2005.

  • 🧍 The culture collection accession number LMG 22865 has been provided on request for validation. In the protologue of the effective publication, the type strain CECT 5841 is erroneously cited as CECT5841. Publication: Euzeby JP. Validation list no. 102.
