International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes Subcommittee on the taxonomy of phototrophic bacteria: minutes of the closed online meeting, 10-30 June 2014.

Emended descriptions of genera of the family Halobacteriaceae.

The family Halobacteriaceae currently contains 96 species whose names have been validly published, classified in 27 genera (as of September 2008). In recent years, many novel species have been added to the established genera but, in many cases, one or more properties of the novel species do not agree with the published descriptions of the genera. Authors have often failed to provide emended gen...

Proposed revisions of the Statutes of the International Committee of Systematics of Prokaryotes.

The following revisions of the Statutes (Labeda D, Whitman WB.
