  • ❗ Peptococcus glycinophilus 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 Peptococcus.

  • 🧍 Replacement of the illegitimate name Micromonas micros (Prévot 1933) Murdoch and Shah 2000, which is illegitimate because it is placed in an illegitimate genus (see: Micromonas). So, the name Peptostreptococcus micros (Prévot 1933) Smith 1957 (Approved Lists 1980) must be used as long as it is the single legitimate, validly published name. Publication: Murdoch DA, Shah HN. Reclassification of Peptostreptococcus magnus (Prevot 1933) Holdeman and Moore 1972 as Finegoldia magna comb. nov. and Peptostreptococcus micros (Prevot 1933) Smith 1957 as Micromonas micros comb. nov. Anaerobe 1999; 5:555-559.
