Nomenclatural History
The subspecies Oceanospirillum maris maris was originally described by Hylemon et al. 1973. This name appeared on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names 1980. Pot et al. published an emended description of this subspecies in 1989. In 1978, Linn and Krieg reduced Hylemon et al. 1973 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Pot et al. 1989 to the rank of subspecies.

Satomi et al. (2002) assert that this subspecies should be rejected, which would effectively undo the changes made by Pot et al. (1989). However, no formal request for opinion was made and the subspecies continue to have standing in nomenclature.
