Request for an Opinion: Replacement of the Type Strain of Methanobacterium formicicum and Reinstatement of Methanobacterium bryantii sp. nov. nom. rev. (ex Balch and Wolfe, 1981) with M.o.H. (DSM 863) as the Type Strain

abstract= Methanobacterium formicicum and Methanobacterium bryantii were inadvertantly assigned the same type strain, strain M.o.H. (DSM 863). Because M. formicicum has temporal precedence over M. bryantii, the latter species has no taxonomic standing and is an objective synonym of the former. I request an opnion rejecting the type strain M. formicicum DSM 863, replacing it with strain MF (DSM 1535) as the neotype strain of M. formicicum, and reinstatement of M. bryantii with strain M.o.H. (DSM 863) as the holotype strain.,
