Despite the success of this system and the introduction of the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, accompanied by a new starting date in prokaryote nomenclature, there is a need to review both the historical aspects and current practices so that the current generation of prokaryote systematists have an up-to-date overview of some of the key elements. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64780-0
