List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on the naming and taxonomy of prokaryotes, [1] following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. [2] The database was curated from 1997 to June 2013 by Jean P. Euzéby. [3]
An early Code for the nomenclature of bacteria was approved at the 4th International Congress for Microbiology in 1947, but was later discarded. The latest version to be printed in book form is the 1990 Revision, [ 3 ] but the book does not represent the current rules.
This article lists the genera of the bacteria. The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [ 1 ] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). [ 2 ]
An international committee published recommendations for genetic symbols and nomenclature in 1957. [1] The need to develop formal guidelines for human gene names and symbols was recognized in the 1960s and full guidelines were issued in 1979 (Edinburgh Human Genome Meeting). [2]
On the other hand, bacteriology started anew, making a clean sweep in 1980 (Skerman et al., "Approved Lists of Bacterial Names"), although maintaining the original authors and dates of publication. [8] Exceptions in botany: [9] [10] [11] Spermatophyta and Pteridophyta, suprageneric names: 4 August 1789 (Jussieu, Genera plantarum);
Several bacterial species are named after institutions, including acronyms which are spelled as they would be read; e.g., CDC becomes Ce+de+ce+a. The names are changed in the female nominative case, either by changing the ending to -a or to the diminutive -ella, depending on the name. [1] Afipia – AFIP (Armed Force Institute of Pathology), USA
If a bacterium is known and well-studied but not culturable, it is given the term Candidatus in its name; A basonym is original name of a new combination, namely the first name given to a taxon before it was reclassified; A synonym is an alternative name for a taxon, i.e. a taxon was erroneously described twice
The bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code (translation table 11) is the DNA code used by bacteria, archaea, prokaryotic viruses and chloroplast proteins. It is essentially the same as the standard code , however there are some variations in alternative start codons .
