    <public-note>The type strain of Beggiatoa alba was asserted as LSU B18LD by the Approved Lists, and cited Bergey 8. However, Bergey 8 did not specify the type strain. Bergey's Systematic (1st edition) asserted LSU B18LD as a neotype. However, this strain is considered to be the type strain (not a neotype) under Rule 18f.</public-note>
