Four of these requests were granted and have been published as Opinion 64, replacing and recognizing type strains of Methanobacterium formicicum and Methanobacterium bryantii, respectively; Opinion 65, replacing the type strain of Selenomonas sputigena; Opinion 66, replacing the type strain of Streptococcus mitis; and Opinion 67, rejecting Citrobacter diversum. Six requests were denied, including requests for conservation or recognition of “Rhodococcus lentifragmentus,” “Pediococcus acidilactici” and “Salmonella enterica,” rejection of Erwinia camegieana, Pectobacterium camegieana, and Lactobacillus paracasei, and transfer of the type strain of Methanosaeta concilii to Methanothrix soehngenii. A request based on a proposal for reinterpretation of the position of Xanthomonas maltophilia was not considered by the Judicial Commission because it represented a substantive taxonomic issue rather than a nomenclatural question governed by the Bacteriological Code.
