Spröer C. Replacement of ATCC 25944T, the current type strain of Melittangium lichenicola, with ATCC 25946. Request for an opinion. 2008 58 12 2991 2992 International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 1466-5026 1466-5034 10.1099/ijs.0.2008/002311-0 19060095 There is a request for an opinion by Lang and Sproer 2008 (rid.8160) to replace the original type strain ATCC 25944 with the strain ATCC 25946(=DSM 14877). There has not been an official opinion regarding this request. Opinion 101. The strain deposited as ATCC 25944 (=M155=DSM 2275) does not conform with the morphological description of M. lichenicola published by McCurdy and that this strain should not serve as the type strain because it is not an authentic representative of the designated type strain.
