Abstract

Opinion 123 places the epithet of the name on the list of rejected epithets and clarifies the citation of authors of selected names within the genus . Opinion 124 denies the request to place on the list of rejected names because the request is based on a misinterpretation of the Code, which is clarified. There are alternative ways to solve the perceived problem. Opinion 125 denies the request to place on the list of rejected names because the provided information does not yield a reason for rejection. Opinion 126 denies the request to place and on the list of rejected names because a relevant type strain deposit was not examined. Opinion 127 grants the request to assign the strain deposited as ATCC 4720 as the type strain of , thereby correcting the Approved Lists. These Opinions were ratified by the voting members of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes.
