RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Oren, AharonYR 2017 T1 Proposal to correct the generic name Flaviaesturariibacter Kang, Chun, Seo, Kim and Jahng 2015, 2212 to Flavaestuariibacter. Request for an Opinion JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 67 IS 9 SP 3686 OP 3686 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002256 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB 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. Moreover, according to Appendix 9 of the Prokaryotic Code, a connecting vowel must be dropped when the following word element starts with a vowel. I therefore propose to correct the name Flaviaesturariibacter to Flavaestuariibacter., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002256
