摘要
It is proposed that the type strain of Melittangium lichenicola (Thaxter 1892) McCurdy 1971 is ATCC 25946 (=DSM 14877), which was originally designated as a reference strain by McCurdy, and not ATCC 25944(T), as given in the Approved Lists. Swarm appearance, myxospore morphology and 16S rRNA gene sequence data suggest that ATCC 25946 is a representative of the species Melittangium lichenicola, while strain ATCC 25944 is clearly a member of the Myxococcus-Corallococcus clade. A Request for an Opinion to this effect is made to the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes.
