Priority of Rhodococcus lentifragmentus (Kruse 1896; Tsukamura et al. 1975) Tsukamura 1978 comb. nov. over Rhodococcus ruber (Kruse 1896) Goodfellow and Alderson 1980: Request for an Opinion Tsukamura, Michio,, 35, 124-125 (1985), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-35-1-124, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Rhodococcus lentifragmentus (Kruse 1896; Tsukamura et al. 1975) Tsukamura 1978 comb. nov. has priority over Rhodococcus ruber (Kruse 1896) Goodfellow and Alderson 1980. On the Approved Lists 1980, the year of valid publication of the name Rhodococcus ruber appears as 1979. This should be 1980, as this name was not effectively published before the Approved Lists 1980. I propose that the Judical Commission of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology revise the name Rhodococcus lentifragmentus by recognizing its priority over Rhodococcus ruber., language=, type=
