🧍 The supposed new combination Bradyrhizobium lupini Peix et al. 2015 contravenes the ICNP because the authors intended to propose a new combination for Rhizobium lupini (Schroeter 1886) Eckhardt et al. 1931 (Approved Lists 1980), but when doing so exchanged the type strain. Strain ATCC 10319 was listed as type strain of Rhizobium lupini (Schroeter 1886) Eckhardt et al. 1931 in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. Irrespective of the suitability, or lack thereof, of ATCC 10319 as the type strain of this species, this exchange of the type strain contravenes the ICNP. Only the Judicial Commission can correct the Approved Lists. In order to highlight the exchange of the nomenclatural type, LPSN lists this name as Bradyrhizobium lupini Peix et al. 2015 instead of Bradyrhizobium lupini (Schroeter 1886) Peix et al. 2015 and does not indicate the two names as homotypic synonyms.
