Reclassification of Friedmanniella endophytica, Lysinimicrobium sediminis and Lechevalieria rhizosphaerae as Microlunatus kandeliicorticis nom. nov., Demequina sediminis comb. nov. and Lentzea rhizosphaerae comb. nov., respectively.

ABSTRACT

According to Rule 37a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, the name of a taxon must be changed if the nomenclatural type of the taxon is excluded. Recently, in a transfer of actinobacterial species, three species - Friedmanniella endophytica Tuo et al. 2016, Lysinimicrobium sediminis Hamada et al. 2017 and Lechevalieria rhizosphaerae Zhao et al. 2017 - were not transferred with their type species. Therefore, to resolve these nomenclatural issues, Microlunatus kandeliicorticis nom. nov., Demequina sediminis comb. nov. and Lentzea rhizosphaerae comb. nov. are proposed, respectively.
