Table 1: Complete list of names proposed in the current register list.

Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Order Izemoplasmatales [I.ze.mo.plas.ma.ta'les] N.L. neut. n. Izemoplasma, the type genus of the order; L. fem. pl. suff. -ales, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Izemoplasmatales, the Izemoplasma order
The type species of this order is Izemoplasma acidinucleici capable of degrading and metabolizing nucleic acids. Comparative genomics indicated that diverse Izemoplasmatales members encode multiple (up to five) predicted extracellular nucleases and are probably specialized DNA-degraders. 
Bacilli Izemoplasma seqco.de/i:23535
Family Izemoplasmataceae [I.ze.mo.plas.ma.ta'ce.ae] N.L. neut. n. Izemoplasma, the type genus of the family; L. fem. pl. suff. -aceae, ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Izemoplasmataceae, the Izemoplasma family
The type species of this family is Izemoplasma acidinucleici capable of degrading and metabolizing nucleic acids. Comparative genomics indicated that diverse Izemoplasmataceae encode multiple (up to five) predicted extracellular nucleases and are probably specialized DNA-degraders. 
Izemoplasmatales Izemoplasma seqco.de/i:42145
Genus Izemoplasma [I.ze.mo.plas'ma] Gr. neut. n. izema, a settling down, sediment; Gr. neut. n. plasma, anything formed or moulded, image, figure; N.L. neut. n. Izemoplasma, a form from sediment
We have revised the previously suggested genus name Ca. Izimaplasma (Skennerton et al., 2016) to Izemoplasma of the family Izemoplasmataceae and order Izemoplasmatales. Members of this genus degrade and metabolize nucleic acids.
Izemoplasmataceae Izemoplasma acidinucleiciTs seqco.de/i:50971
Species Izemoplasma acidinucleiciTs [a.ci.di.nu.cle'i.ci.] N.L. neut. n. acidum nucleicum, nucleic acid; N.L. gen. n. acidinucleici, of nucleic acid, referring to the capacity of this species to degrade and metabolize nucleic acids
Based on a combination of unique phylogeny (based on 16S rRNA genes and concatenated single copy marker proteins) and genomic similarity (ANI), as well as genome-based predictions of nucleic acid catabolism that are supported by SIP results, we propose a novel species name Izemoplasma acidinucleici for the Izemoplasma MAG recovered in this study. We have revised the previously suggested genus name Ca. Izimaplasma to Izemoplasma of the family Izemoplasmataceae and order Izemoplasmatales.
