Abstract
The purpose of this note is to revive, in accordance with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, the names of four genera (Caedibacter, Holospora, Lyticum, and Tectibacter) and seven species (C. taeniospiralis, H. elegans, H. obtusa, H. undulata, L. flagellatimi, L. sinuosum, and T. vulgaris) of protozoan endosymbionts not included on the recently published Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. The names are being revived for the same organisms to which the names were originally applied. The species previously referred to as “Cytophaga caryophila” is here transferred to the genus Holospora as Holospora caryophila nom. nov.
