Key Points

  • This proposal aims to place the nomenclature of cyanobacteria under the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria.
  • The Subcommittee on Phototrophic Bacteria presents a unanimous proposal to the ICSB.
  • Proposes to govern nomenclature since January 1, 1979, under specific established rules.
  • Recommends extending the deadline for approved cyanobacterial names to January 1, 1985.
  • The proposal emphasizes the need for clear nomenclature rules for cyanobacteria.
  • Unanimous support from the Subcommittee indicates strong consensus for the change.
  • The extended deadline aims to facilitate better classification of procaryotic names.

Abstract

The Subcommittee on the Phototrophic Bacteria of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology (ICSB) of the International Association of Microbiological Societies (IAMS) proposes unanimously to the ICSB that the nomenclature of the cyanobacteria (cyanophytes, blue-green algae) shall be governed as of 1 January 1979 by the provisions of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (3). Since a prospective date (1 January 1980) has been fixed for the publication of approved lists of procaryotic names, it is further recommended that this deadline should be extended, in the particular case of the cyanobacteria, to 1 January 1985.
