  • ❗ Acetobacter pasteurianus subsp. pasteurianus is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Acetobacter pasteurianus within a separate genus Acetobacter.

  • 🧍 If an author accepts that Acetobacter pasteurianus subsp. ascendens (Henneberg 1898) De Ley and Frateur 1974 (Approved Lists 1980), and Acetobacter pasteurianus subsp. paradoxus (Frateur 1950) De Ley and Frateur 1974 (Approved Lists 1980) are later heterotypic synonyms of Acetobacter pasteurianus (Hansen 1879) Beijerinck and Folpmers 1916 (Approved Lists 1980) then Acetobacter pasteurianus subsp. pasteurianus (Hansen 1879) De Ley and Frateur 1974 should thereafter be designated simply as Acetobacter pasteurianus (Hansen 1879) Beijerinck and Folpmers 1916 (Approved Lists 1980).
