Abstract

Twenty-two strains of extremely halophilic cocci (i.e., cocci requiring at least 15% NaCl for growth), so far considered as belonging to species of the genus Cohn or Goodsir, were subjected to a taxonomic analysis. As a result of this study, it is recommended that they be assigned to the genus Schoop, 1935. Amended descriptions of the genus and its single species, . (Farlow 1880) comb. nov., are given. CCM 537 (ATCC 17082, NCMB 787) is designated as the neotype strain of . .
