The Status

The genus name Rhodococcus Zopf 1891 was created to accommodate two species of red pigment (lipochrome)-producing bacteria. However, the genus name Rhodococcus Hansgirg 1884 had already been applied to an algal taxon. The wording of the 1975 and subsequent revisions of the Code dealing with bacteria/prokaryotes is such that the name Rhodococcus Zopf 1891 is illegitimate, despite the fact that it was included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. Further research using databases of scientific names of organisms indicate the status of the name Rhodococcus Zopf 1891 needs to be carefully considered.

The Status

The 16S rRNA and gyrB genes of 22 Streptomyces strains belonging to the Streptomyces griseus cluster were sequenced, and their taxonomic positions were re-evaluated. For correct analysis, all of the publicly available sequences of the species were collected and compared with those obtained in this study. Species for which no consensus sequence could be identified were excluded from the phylogenetic analysis. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity within the cluster ranged from 98.6 to 100 % with a mean value of 99.6±0.3 %, and those of the gyrB gene ranged from 93.6 to 99.9 % with a mean value of 96.3±1.5 %. The observed average nucleotide substitution rate of the gyrB gene was ten times higher than that of the 16S rRNA gene, showing a far higher degree of variation. Strains sharing 99.3 % or more gyrB sequence similarity (corresponding to an evolutionary distance of 0.0073) always formed monophyletic groups in both trees. Through the combined analysis of the two genes, clear cases of synonymy could be identified and, according to the priority rule, the assertion of the status of Streptomyces setonii as a distinct species and the reclassification of Streptomyces fimicarius as a later synonym of S. setonii and Streptomyces albovinaceus as a later synonym of Streptomyces globisporus are proposed. Emended descriptions of S. setonii and S. globisporus are provided.

The Status

A strictly aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, DR-9T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of the medicinal herb Angelica sinensis. Strain DR-9T grew at 20–40 °C, at pH 4.0–9.0 and in the presence of 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), MK-7 was the major isoprenoid quinone, and phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified aminophospholipid were the major polar lipids. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DR-9T formed a lineage within the genus Mucilaginibacter and was closely related to Mucilaginibacter polysacchareus DRP28T (96.1 % sequence similarity), Mucilaginibacter myungsuensis HMD1056T (95.9 % sequence similarity), Mucilaginibacter ximonensis XM-003T (95.8 %) and Mucilaginibacter boryungensis BDR-9T (95.1 %). The status of strain DR-9T as a representative of a separate species was confirmed by DNA hybridization, with 38.6, 36.3 and 29.9 % DNA–DNA relatedness with M. polysacchareus DRP28T, M. ximonensis XM-003T and M. boryungensis BDR-9T, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain DR-9T was 49.8 %. These data suggest that strain DR-9T should be considered as a representative of a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter , for which the name Mucilaginibacter herbaticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DR-9T ( = KACC 16469T = NBRC 108839T).

Rejected Names

During a study assessing the diversity of the Bacillus pumilus group it became apparent that the type strains of both Bacillus aerophilus and Bacillus stratosphericus were not available from any established culture collection, nor from the authors who originally described them. Therefore, type strains of these species cannot be included in any further scientific studies. It is therefore proposed that the Judicial Commission of the International Committee of Systematics of Prokaryotes place the names Bacillus aerophilus and Bacillus stratosphericus on the list of rejected names, if suitable replacements for the type strains are not found or if neotype strains are not proposed within two years following the publication of this Request for an Opinion.

Rejected Names

On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and several key phenotypic features, it was ascertained that the culture cited as the type strain of the species Hyphomonas rosenbergii , ATCC 43869T, does not conform to the description of the species, [Weiner, R. M., Melick, M., O’Neill, K. & Quintero, E. (2000). Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 50, 459–469]. The type strain does not exist in any other established culture collection or with the authors who described this species. Therefore, it cannot be included in any scientific study. It is proposed that the Judicial Commission place the name Hyphomonas rosenbergii on the list of rejected names if a suitable replacement type strain is not found or a neotype is not proposed within two years following the publication of this Request for an Opinion.

During a recent study on members of the genus Lactobacillus we realized that cultures of Lactobacillus fornicalis TV 1018T (=DSM 13171T=ATCC 700934T) are no longer available from the online catalogue of the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH, being displayed as Lactobacillus plantarum at the American Type Culture Collection. Based on data currently available, the organism deposited as ATCC 700934T is a member of the species Lactobacillus plantarum subs. plantarum. Therefore, the type strain of Lactobacillus fornicalis cannot be included in any further scientific comparative study. This matter is referred to the Judicial Commission, asking for an opinion on the status of the species.

Actinobaculum Schaalii

A recent study on members of the genus Actinobaculum revealed that cultures of the species Actinobaculum massiliense CCUG 47753T ( = DSM 19118T) currently being distributed do not conform to the properties of the type strain of A. massiliense CIP 107404T given by Greub & Raoult [Greub, G. & Raoult, D. (2002). J Clin Microbiol 40, 3938–3941]. The original strain, CIP 107404T is no longer available from the Biological Resource Center of Institut Pasteur, Paris. Based on data currently available, the organism currently deposited as CCUG 47753T and DSM 19118T is a member of the species Actinobaculum schaalii . Clearly, the organism deposited as CCUG 47753T and DSM 19118T as the type strain of the species Actinobaculum massiliense does not have the properties given by Greub & Raoult. Based on the absence of an authentic type strain, the Judicial Commission is requested to examine the status of the name Actinobaculum massiliense Greub and Raoult 2006 and to issue an Opinion.

The Judicial Commission affirms that the combination Lactobacillus rogosae Holdeman and Moore 1974 represented by the type strain ATCC 27753 listed on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names does not appear to be currently represented by an extant type strain. Further work is needed to determine whether a derivative of the original type can be found or whether a neotype can be designated.

The species name Streptomyces ruanii Kumar and Goodfellow 2008 was published in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology in 2008. It is generally treated as a legitimate and validly published name. However, closer examination of the publication indicates that this name is contrary to the Rules of the Nomenclatural Code dealing with prokaryotes and is both illegitimate and not validly published.

Based on the high phylogenetic relatedness of Auricoccus indicus Prakash et al. 2017 and Abyssicoccus albus Jiang et al. 2016, it is proposed to unite them with retaining the latter name as having nomenclatural priority. As the result of the species unification, the genus Auricoccus name is proposed to consider as illegitimate in the boundaries determined by Rule 51a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.
