Nomenclatural History	The species Microcyclus aquaticus was originally described by Ørskov 1928. This name appeared on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names 1980. Raj replaced this illegitimate name with Ancylobacter aquaticus (Ørskov 1928) Raj 1983 emend. Hördt et al. 2020 in 1983. Microcyclus is a junior homonym to the fungal genus Microcyclus, thus illegitimate.
