A1 SCHMIDT, JEAN M.YR 1983 T1 Assignment of ATCC 27377 to Planctomyces staleyi sp. nov. and Conservation of Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff 1888 on the Basis of Type Descriptive Material JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 33 IS 3 SP 666 OP 671 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-33-3-666 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB The name Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff 1888 is used for two quite different kinds of bacteria. We request that the Judicial Commission issue an Opinion to the effect that the name be used only for the sort of bacterial parasite or endosymbiont described by Metchnikoff from the body cavities of cladoceran invertebrates belonging to the family Daphnidae. The name should not be used for an organism quite different from that described by Metchnikoff, ATCC 27377T, a member of morphotype IV of the Blastocaulis-Planctomyces group of budding and non-prosthecately appendaged bacteria, for which we propose the name Planctomyces staleyi sp. nov. We further recommend that relevant alterations be made in connection with the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and culture collection catalogs., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-33-3-666
