Proper Form	Deinococcus erythromyxa (ex Chester 1901) Brooks and Murray 1981
Nomenclatural History	The species Deinococcus erythromyxa was originally described by Chester 1901. It pre-dated the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names but was excluded from those lists. In 1981 the name was revived and validly published by Brooks and Murray. In 1997, Rainey et al. established Deinococcus erythromyxa as the basonym of Kocuria erythromyxa (Brooks and Murray 1981) Rainey et al. 1997 .
