1887

Abstract

In a previous article [Oggerin M., Arahal, D. R., Rubio, V. & Marin, I. (2009). , 2323–2328], it has been shown that strain UQM 1685 and its derived equivalent CIP 106281 do not conform to the description of the type strain of Döbereiner and Ruschel 1958. Indeed, both strains were identified as members of the species and exhibited marked phenotypic and genotypic differences with members of the genus . It was concluded that both strains, and any other equivalents derived from them, do not descend from the nomenclatural type. Since then, our attempts to find older deposits of the type strain, hopefully derived from the original isolate, or other existing strains of that could be proposed as a neotype strain, have been in vain. It is therefore proposed that the Judicial Commission should place the name Döbereiner and Ruschel 1958 on the list of rejected names if a suitable replacement type strain or a neotype cannot be found within two years following the publication of this Request (Rule 18c).
