Proper Form	Rhodobacter blasticus corrig. (Eckersley and Dow 1981) Kawasaki et al. 1994 emend. Hördt et al. 2020
Nomenclatural History	The species Rhodobacter blasticus was originally described by Kawasaki et al. 1993. This name became validly published when it appeared on Validation List No. 51 in 1994. Euzéby corrected this name from Rhodobacter blastica (sic) to Rhodobacter blasticus . Hördt et al. published an emended description of this species in 2020. Kawasaki et al. formed this name in 1993 by placing the species Rhodopseudomonas blastica Eckersley and Dow 1981 into the genus Rhodobacter Imhoff et al. 1984 emend. Suresh et al. 2019. In 2019, Suresh et al. established Rhodobacter blasticus as the basonym of Fuscovulum blasticum (Eckersley and Dow 1981) Suresh et al. 2020 .
