Proposed minimal standards for describing new genera and species of the suborder Micrococcineae

Review of the taxonomy of the genus Arthrobacter, emendation of the genus Arthrobacter sensu lato, proposal to reclassify selected species of the genus Arthrobacter in the novel genera Glutamicibacter gen. nov., Paeniglutamicibacter gen. nov., Pseudoglutamicibacter gen. nov., Paenarthrobacter gen. nov. and Pseudarthrobacter gen. nov., and emended description of Arthrobacter roseus

“…nicotianae group' lack PI and contain either DMDG or DGDG. It is important to point out this error because, to date, Stackebrandt et al (1995) only has been cited in eight papers in the IJSEM for the presence of DMDG and PI in both groups of Arthrobacter (Stackebrandt & Schumann, 2000;Altenburger et al, 2002;Li et al, 2004aLi et al, , 2005cZhang et al, 2007;Schumann et al, 2009;Zhou et al, 2009;Yassin et al, 2011a).…”

Phylogenetic Framework and Molecular Signatures for the Main Clades of the Phylum Actinobacteria

“…The most updated taxonomic outline of this suborder encompasses 15 families and 86 genera, and information for some of these has been reviewed (38,78,157,169,191,258,282,343,343). In view of the importance of species of this order for bioremediation, industrial, and clinical purposes, large numbers of genomes of many species that are part of different genera and families of this order have been sequenced.…”

International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes

“…Since the 2008 meeting, updated minimal descriptive standards have been published for Halomonadaceae (Arahal et al 2008), Micrococcineae (Schumann et al 2009), and for aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria (Logan et al 2009 (4) Changes in the description and operation of Subcommittees on Taxonomy, also based on current practice, including a means of automatically disbanding such subcommittees when their intended purpose may no longer be relevant;…”
