Notification that new names of prokaryotes, new combinations and new taxonomic opinions have appeared in volume 65, part 4, of the IJSEM

This listing of names of prokaryotes published in a previous issue of the IJSEM is provided as a service to bacteriology to assist in the recognition of new names and new combinations. This procedure was proposed by the Judicial Commission [Minute 11(ii), Int J Syst Bacteriol 41 (1991), p. 185]. The names given herein are listed according to the Rules of priority (i.e. page number and order of valid publication of names in the original articles). The following taxonomic opinions (i.e. the emendation of circumscriptions or the creation of synonyms) cannot be considered as validly published nor, in any other way, approved by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes and its Judicial Commission.
