ABSTRACT

General Consideration 5, chapter 1, of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (1990 Revision) states: "This Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria applies to all bacteria. The nomenclature of certain other microbial groups is provided for by other Codes: fungi and algae by the Botanical Code, protozoa by the Zoological Code, and viruses by the Virological Code when it is approved (see Appendix 1)." The extent of jurisdiction depends, therefore, on the usage applied to names of the highest taxa.

{dagger} This section permits the presentation, in a concise form, of proposals or problems that require the attention of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology (ICSB) for formal discussion and informs colleagues internationally so that they may react if they wish to do so. It may also be used as a source of information or to transmit information on approaches, concepts, or arguments arising from outside the pages of the IJSB, which already allows Letters to the Editor concerning publications in that journal. Contributions can be addressed to the Editor or communicated through an officer of the ICSB (see the listing on the title page of every issue) or through the ASM Journals Division as for papers. The contributions should concern matters appropriate to the scientific interests of the ICSB. For example, proposals regarding amendments to the Bacteriological Code should, by statute, be published 3 to 6 months in advance of the ICSB meeting, which is part of the program at IUMS Congresses of Microbiology (Bacteriology Division).
