Abstract

We propose that the photosynthetic procaryotes containing chlorophylls and in the species sp. nov., genus gen. nov., be placed under the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria by including the genus in the family fam. nov., order ord. nov. in the class Gibbons and Murray 1978, listed on the approved lists of bacterial names.
