Abstract

A recent modification of the Note to Rule 25a of the International Code for Nomenclature of Bacteria is used a posteriori by the List Editors of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology to justify the refusal to validate species protologues published in supplementary material prior to this formal decision. Authors are therefore forced to ask permission to reuse published data for the valid publication of such names. In the present letter we re-publish the species protologues of Commensalibacter melissae sp. nov., Commensalibacter communis sp. nov. and Commensalibacter papalotli sp. nov.
