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.
