NCBI Taxonomy
This is the preferred assignment in NCBI Taxonomy , as captured in Aug / 202511. No single "official" taxonomy of prokaryotes exists, and
Principle 1 of the SeqCode indicates that "nothing in the
SeqCode may be construed to restrict the freedom of taxonomic opinion
or action". However, some well-curated taxonomic schemes exist that
can help authors navigate the complex relationships in prokaryotic
systematics, and the SeqCode Registry captures and presents some
schemes as a service to the community.
Genome Taxonomy Database
This is the preferred assignment in Genome Taxonomy Database , as captured in May / 2025 (r226.0)11. No single "official" taxonomy of prokaryotes exists, and

Automated Estimates
This genome was automatically retrieved and processed using MiGA
(The Microbial Genomes Atlas) [1], and the estimate has not been
overridden by the submitter.
To form new prokaryotic names, authors are advised as follows:
Names that are very long or difficult to pronounce should be avoided.
Names should differ by at least three characters from existing names of
genera or species within the same genus.
Languages other than Latin should be avoided when Latin equivalents exist or
can be constructed by combining Latin word elements. Exceptions include names
derived from local items such as foods, drinks, geographic localities, and
other names for which no Latin words exist.
Authors should not name organisms after themselves. If names are formed from
personal names, they should contain only the name of one person. They may
contain the untruncated family and/or first names.
All personal genus names should be feminine regardless of the gender identity
of the person they commemorate.
Names should not be deliberately contentious or abusive of any person, gender
or sexual identity, race, religion, political belief, or ideology.
Names that include mnemonic cues are preferred because they promote learning
and memory.
A name of a new taxon, or a new combination for an existing taxon, is not
validly published unless the following criteria are met:
The name is effectively published under the rules of the SeqCode.
The name is registered in the SeqCode Registry, along with mandatory data
fields listed below.
The type of the taxon is clearly designated. In the case of species or
subspecies, the type sequence is deposited according to Rule 18a and the
accession number cited.
The taxonomic rank is designated.
The derivation (etymology) of a new name (and if necessary of a new
combination) is given wherein one or more distinguishable roots are
identified. Roots can originate from any language in use or extinct (see also
Recommendation 9).
Note 1. When a new species or a new combination results in the proposal of a
new genus, both the new genus name and the new species name or the new
combination must be validly published. Publication of the new species epithet or
new combination alone does not constitute valid publication of the new genus
name.
Note 2. When possible, authors are recommended to include the SeqCode
Registry identifier in the effective publication.
Note 3. If the information provided in the registration and the effective
publication differ, the registration is considered definitive.
