Addendum: Comparative Genomic Analysis of the Class Epsilonproteobacteria and Proposed Reclassification to Epsilonbacteraeota (phyl. nov.)
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: In our original publication, we proposed the phylum name Epsilonbacteraeota according to a proposal to modify Rule 8 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, under which the suffix –aeota would be used to denote prokaryotic phyla (Oren et al., 2015). An addendum to this proposal was recently made whereby the shorter suffix –ota, instead of –aeota, be added to the stem of the name of one of the contained classes (Whitman et al., 2018). In accordance with this amendment, and the requirement that a class name is derived from a type genus (Oren et al., 2015), we propose to replace the name Epsilonbacteraeota with Campylobacterota. This change does not affect subordinate ranks of the phylum.Campylobacterota (Cam.py.lo.bac.ter.o′ta. N.L. neut. n. Campylobacter type genus of the type order of the type class of the phylum; suff. -ota, proposed ending to denote a phylum; N.L. neut. pl. n. Campylobacterota the phylum of the class Campylobacteria)
