“…McCurdy assigned three of his isolates as the type strains for the abovementioned three species (McCurdy, 1970; Table 1). The species names and type strains were included in the Approved Lists (Skerman et al, 1980) (Neo-)Type strains for species of myxobacteria University of Windsor dealing with myxobacteria (PubMed), a fact additionally suggesting that nobody at the university had a research interest to keep the cultures alive or, at least, under surveillance.…”

Ten species of the order Myxococcales with validly published names are devoid of living type strains. Four species of the genus Chondromyces are represented by dead herbarium samples as the type material. For a species of the genus Melittangium and two species of the genus Polyangium , no physical type material was assigned at the time of validation of the names or later on. In accordance with rule 18f of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria the following type strains are designated for these species: strain Cm a14T ( = DSM 14605T = JCM 12615T) as the type strain of Chondromyces apiculatus , strain Cm c5T ( = DSM 14714T = JCM 12616T) as the type strain of Chondromyces crocatus , strain Sy t2T ( = DSM 14631T = JCM 12617T) as the type strain of Chondromyces lanuginosus , strain Cm p51T ( = DSM 14607T = JCM 12618T) as the type strain of Chondromyces pediculatus , strain Me b8T ( = DSM 14713T = JCM 12633T) as the type strain of Melittangium boletus , strain Pl s12T ( = DSM 14670T = JCM 12637T) as the type strain of Polyangium sorediatum and strain Pl sm5T ( = DSM 14734T = JCM 12638T) as the type strain of Polyangium spumosum . Furthermore, the type strains given for three species of the genera Cystobacter and Polyangium had been kept at one university institute and have been lost according to our investigations. In accordance with Rule 18c of the Bacteriological Code, we propose the following neotype strains: strain Cb fe18 ( = DSM 14716 = JCM 12624) as the neotype strain of Cystobacter ferrugineus , strain Cb m2 ( = DSM 14751 = JCM 12627) as the neotype strain of Cystobacter minus and strain Pl fu5 ( = DSM 14668 = JCM 12636) as the neotype strain of Polyangium fumosum . The proposals of the strains are based on the descriptions and strain proposals given in the respective chapters of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (2005).

“…However, C. disciformis and C. gracilis are also recognized by Reichenbach (2005c). Antibiotic sensitivity and enzymatic activities were used to differentiate species (McCurdy 1970), but species identification is currently based only on chitin degradation activity and morphological features of sporangioles and myxospores (Reichenbach 2005c).…”

“…Fruiting body and sporangiole color and morphology are the phenotypic characteristics used to identify Melittangium species (McCurdy 1970;Reichenbach 2005Reichenbach , p. 117, 2005c. This genus comprises three species: (1) M. boletus, which produces yellow to brown spherical or flattened sporangia that resemble a mushroom pilus; (2) M. lichenicola which produces orange or red fruiting bodies that are single or arranged in an irregular mass; and (3) M. alboraceum, which produces a single irregular, pale orange, globe sporangium on a long, white, corkscrewshaped sporangiophore (McCurdy 1970).…”

“…Thus, Cystobacteraceae family members exhibit Gram-negative, tapered-ended, needle-shaped vegetative cells with gliding motility, convertible to refractile or phase-dense myxospores. Fruiting bodies, when present, are of variable sizes and shapes, often brown to red-colored, and can be structured or not on pedicles or stalks (McCurdy 1970;Reichenbach 2005a). > Table 2.2 summarizes the information described above.…”

Myxobacteria are a group of eubacteria classified in the order Myxococcales, further subdivided into two suborders and eight families. These unique microorganisms exhibit distinctive social behavior and morphogenetic characteristics, such as the ability to form myxospores and fruiting bodies. Cellular aggregation is an important feature that allows these microorganisms to adapt to almost every environment.
