Valid publication: Gorlas A, Croce O, Oberto J, Gauliard E, Forterre P, Marguet E. Thermococcus nautili sp. nov., a hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a hydrothermal deep-sea vent. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:1802-1810. 🇫🇷

IJSEM list: Oren A, Garrity GM. Validation list no. 204. List of new names and new combinations previously effectively, but not validly, published. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5260.

Nomenclatural status: validly published under the ICNP

Taxonomic status: correct name

Risk group: 1

  • Notes:
    • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
    • 🎓 Name mentioned 8 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
    • 🧍 Originally regarded as not validly published. The effective publication in 2014 provided accession numbers of two collections. However, CNCM appears to be a pure patent collection, thus not meeting the requirements laid out in Rule 30(4) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. This renders Thermococcus nautili Gorlas et al. 2014 not validly published because it is not deposited in two suitable culture collections in two distinct countries. The JCM strain could be deposited elsewhere. It was deposited at DSMZ in 2021 and the name subsequently validated by inclusion in a Validation List. — Itoh T. Personal communication, 2021-02-27.
