Request for an Opinion Oren, Aharon,, 67, 3686-3686 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002256, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= The generic name Flaviaesturariibacter Kang, Chun, Seo, Kim and Jahng 2015, 2212 is malformed: being derived from the Latin noun aestuarium, …aestuarii… instead of …aesturarii… is required.

I therefore propose to correct the name Flaviaesturariibacter to Flavaestuariibacter., language=, type=
