Statutes of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes - July 20...
Arahal, David R.; Göker, Markus; Hahnke, Richard L.; Manaia, Célia M.; Moore, Edward R. B.; Oren, Aharon; Sutcliffe, Iain C.; Ventura, StefanoThe members of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) have recently voted on a proposed revision of its statutes. We here present the outcome of the vote and the text of the revised statutes, as approved by the ICSP.

Arahal, David R.; Göker, Markus; Hahnke, Richard L.; Manaia, Célia M.; Moore, Edward R. B.; Oren, Aharon; Sutcliffe, Iain C.; Ventura, StefanoThe International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes serves to administer the rules of prokaryotic nomenclature via the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, ensures the publication of the International Journal of Sys-tematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, and works to represent the interests of the microbiological disciplines regarding prokaryotic nomenclature. The functions and mechanisms of...
Acinetobacter portensis sp. nov. and Acinetobacter guerrae sp. nov., isolated f...
Carvalheira, Ana; Gonzales Siles, Lucia; Salvà-Serra, Francisco; Lindgren, Åsa; Svensson-Stadler, Liselott; Thorell, Kaisa; Moore, Edward R. B.The taxonomic status of six strains of Acinetobacter obtained from meat samples, collected from supermarkets in Porto, Portugal, was investigated using polyphasic analysis. Partial rpoB sequence similarities lower than 95 % to other Acinetobacter species with validly published names led to the hypothesis that these strains represented novel species. This was confirmed based on comparative multilocus sequence an...
Bordetella bronchialis sp. nov., Bordetella flabilis sp. nov. and Bordetella sp...
Vandamme, Peter A.; Peeters, Charlotte; Cnockaert, Margo; Ingana, Elisabeth; Falsen, Enevold; Moore, Edward R. B.; Nunes, Olga C.; Manaia, Célia M.The phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of four Bordetella hinzii-like strains from human respiratory specimens and representing nrdA gene sequence based genogroups 3, 14 and 15 were examined. In a 16S rRNA gene sequence based phylogenetic tree, the four strains consistently formed a single coherent lineage but their assignment to the genus Bordetella was equivocal. The respiratory quinone, polar lipid and...
Diversity and antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter spp. in water from the sou...
Narciso-da-Rocha, Carlos; Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Svensson-Stadler, Liselott; Moore, Edward R. B.; Manaia, Célia M.Acinetobacterspp. are ubiquitous bacteria in the environment.Acinetobacterspp. isolated from a municipal drinking water treatment plant and from connected tap waterwere identified to the species level on the basis ofrpoB genepartial sequence analysis. Intraspecies variation wasassessed based on the analysis of partial sequences of house-keeping genes (rpoB,gyrB, andrecA). Antibiotic resistancewas characterized ...
Shinella fusca sp. nov., isolated from domestic waste compost
Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Faria, Cátia; Lopes, Ana R.; Svensson, Liselott A.; Moore, Edward R. B.; Nunes, Olga C.; Manaia, Célia M.A bacterium, designated strain DC-196T, isolated from kitchen refuse compost was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. Strain DC-196T was characterized as a Gram-negative short rod that was catalase- and oxidase-positive, and able to grow at 10–40 6C, pH 6–9 and in NaCl concentrations as high as 3%. Chemotaxonomically, C18 : 1 was observed to be the predominant cellular fatty acid and ubiquinone 10 (Q10) was...
Sphingobium vermicomposti sp. nov., isolated from vermicompost
Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Faria, Cátia; Lopes, Ana R.; Svensson, Liselott; Falsen, Enevold; Moore, Edward R. B.; Ferreira, António C. Silva; Nunes, Olga C.Strain VC-230T was isolated from homemade vermicompost produced from kitchen waste. The isolate was a Gram-negative-staining, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile rod-shaped bacterium able to grow at 15–37 6C and pH 6–8. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain VC-230T was determined to belong to the family Sphingomonadaceae by its clustering with type strains of the genus Sphingobium, with Sph...
Pseudomonas thermotolerans sp. nov., a thermotolerant species of the genus Pseu...
Manaia, C. M.; Moore, Edward R. B.A bacterium, strain CM3T, which has an optimal growth temperature of approximately 47 °C and a maximal growth temperature of 55 SC, was isolated from a hexadecane enrichment culture, obtained from a sample of the industrial cooking water of a cork-processing plant. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium is related to species of the genus Pseudomonas. ...
