This article proposes amendments to the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, focusing on the nomenclatural type of taxa, the suitability of names published in supplementary material or in papers published on e-print servers, the number of culture collection designations for validating a species name, the kinds of restrictions on type strain deposits, and the establishment of new combinations through elevation or lowering of taxonomic ranks.
To complete the ongoing revision of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, we here propose emendation of Rules 8, 15, 22, 25a, 30(3)(b), 30(4), 34a and Appendix 7. These proposed emendations deal with: the nomenclatural type of taxa above genus; the suitability of names published in supplementary material or in papers published on e -print servers for effec-tive publication; the number of culture collection designations to be included in an effective publication of a name of a species or subspecies to qualify for validation of the name; the kinds of restrictions that may be attached to deposits of type strains; and the question whether elevation of a subspecies to the rank of species or lowering of a species to the rank of subspecies establish new combinations. Some of these emendations change the meaning of the Code while others are mere textual clarifications.
