Abstract: The assembly of single- lified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has led to a surge in genome-based discoveries of members affiliated with Archaea and Bacteria, bringing with it a need to develop guidelines for nomenclature of uncultivated microorganisms. The International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) only recognizes cultures as ‘type material’, thereby preventing the naming of uncultivated organisms. In this Consensus Statement, we propose two potential paths to solve this nomenclatural conundrum. One option is the adoption of previously proposed modifications to the ICNP to recognize DNA sequences as acceptable type material the other option creates a nomenclatural code for uncultivated Archaea and Bacteria that could eventually be merged with the ICNP in the future. Regardless of the path taken, we believe that action is needed now within the scientific community to develop consistent rules for nomenclature of uncultivated taxa in order to provide clarity and stability, and to effectively communicate microbial ersity.

Abstract: Thirteen isolates of Acinetobacter were obtained from activated sludge plants in Victoria, Australia. Earlier 16S-23S rDNA genomic fingerprinting and partial 16S rDNA sequence data had suggested that these isolates might contain previously undescribed species. This view was confirmed here. A polyphasic taxonomic approach involving phenotypic characterization, near-complete 16S rDNA sequence data and DNA-DNA hybridization analyses support the view that seven novel genomic species can be differentiated in this group of isolates. However, when fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies were performed with a 16S-rRNA-targeted probe specific for the genus Acinetobacter, used to identify Acinetobacter in activated sludge plants, all these strains responded positively. This suggests that these isolates would not have been missed in earlier FISH studies where their role as polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria has been questioned. This report describes these isolates and proposes that they be named Acinetobacter baylyi (type strain B2T = DSM 14961T = CIP 107474T), Acinetobacter bouvetii (type strain 4B02T = DSM 14964T = CIP 107468T), Acinetobacter grimontii (type strain 17A04T = DSM 14968T = CIP 107470T), Acinetobacter tjernbergiae (type strain 7N16T = DSM 14971T = CIP 107465T), Acinetobacter towneri (type strain AB1110T = DSM 14962T = CIP 107472T), Acinetobacter tandoii (type strain 4N13T = DSM 14670T = CIP 107469T) and Acinetobacter gerneri (type strain 9A01T = DSM 14967T = CIP 107464T).

Abstract: A format for the description of single novel species is proposed, which should facilitate the reviewing process by assisting the provision of data in a standardized form. The abstract must be short and concise, highlighting phylogenetic position, morphology and chemotaxonomy for genus affiliation, the genotypic and phenotypic basis for species differentiation, and the name and deposition numbers from two public culture collections in different countries for the type strain: A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (Iso 196(T)) was isolated from chicken faeces. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain Iso 196(T) was shown to belong to the alpha-2 subclass of the Proteobacteria related to Ochrobactrum tritici (95.6%), Ochrobactrum grignonense (95.0%) and Ochrobactrum anthropi (94.6%), and the phylogenetic distance from any validly described species within the genus Brucella was less than 95%. Chemotaxonomic data (major ubiquinone - Q-10 major polyamines - spermidine and putrescine major polar lipids - phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine major fatty acids - C(18 : 1)omega7c and C(19 : 0) cyclo omega8c) supported the affiliation of strain Iso 196(T) to the genus Ochrobactrum. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain Iso 196(T) from the four validly published Ochrobactrum species. Iso 196(T) therefore represents a new species, for which the name Ochrobactrum gallinifaecis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Iso 196(T) (= DSM 15295(T) = CIP 107753(T)).
