Abstract

The proposal by Henriksen and Bøvre in 1968 to transfer , and to the genus has been supported by recent genetic and chemotaxonomic studies. The proposal by B. W. Catlin (Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 20:155-159) in 1970 to transfer to a new genus, , has not been followed by similar proposals for the other two coccal species, although occasionally they have been referred to informally as members of As a compromise so as to facilitate communication between adherents to these different taxonomies, it is presently proposed to divide the genus Lwoff 1939 emend. Henriksen and Bøvre 1968 into two subgenera—subgenus (Lwoff 1939) Bøvre 1979 for the six rod-shaped species (, and ) and subgenus for the three coccal species. Strain 199/55 (= ATCC 33078 = NCTC 11227) is here proposed as the neotype strain of (Lindqvist 1960) Henriksen and Bøvre 1968, Bøvre 1979.
