Note: ¤ Ruminococcus obeum Moore et al. 1976 (Approved Lists 1980) is clearly a member of the genus Blautia, as currently defined. The rules of the Bacteriological Code require that the type strains of all new species and subspecies (including new combinations) be deposited in two different collections in two different countries. The type strain of ¤ Ruminococcus obeum is only deposited in the ATCC and a second independent deposit, as required by the Code, has not been possible. Consequently, the transfer of this species to the genus Blautia cannot be made because the resulting species name would not conform to the Rules of the Code governing the valid publication of species names and deposit of type material (Rules 27 and 30) and consequently would not be considered to be validly published.
