Pasteuria ramosa Metchnikoff 1888 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Starr et al. 1983 Pasteuria ramosa was described with type strain ATCC 27377 by Staley (1973). Starr et al. (1983) requested the re-assignment of ATCC 27377 to Planctomyces staleyi and conservation of P. ramosa with just the original description as its type. Judicial Opinion 61 officially rejected ATCC 27377 as the type strain for P. ramosa and conserved the name Pasteuria ramosa with the type description of Metchnikoff 1888, emended by Starr et al. 1983.
