abstract= SUMMARY Vibrio Müller has not been used in the Literature of protozoology for over 100 years. Article 23 of the International Zoological Code of Nomenclature says “a name that has remained unused as a senior synonym in the primary zoological literature for more than 50 years is to be considered a forgotten name (nomen oblitum).” For a Little more than 100 years Vibrio has become established as a commonly accepted generic name in bacteriology. It is recommended from the standpoint of bacteriology that Vibrio Müller 1773 be regarded as the name of a genus in zoology and in conformity with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature be recognized as a nomen oblitum and without standing in bacteriological nomenclature. It is further recommended that Vibrio Pacini 1854 be placed in the list of conserved generic names (nomina generum conservanda) with the type species Vibrio cholerae Pacini 1854 and that the specific epithet cholerae in the binary combination Vibrio cholerae Pacini 1854 also be conserved. It is also proposed that the National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) strain 8021 (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strain 14035) be recognized as the neotype strain of Vibrio cholerae Pacini 1 854. The morphological and physiological characteristics, including a photomicrograph of a stained preparation showing monotrichous cells each with a polar flagellum, are presented of the proposed neotype strain.,
