---> ¤ Trichococcus Scheff et al. 1984 emend. Liu et al. 2002.

Note: Liu et al. 2002 propose to transfer ¤ Lactosphaera pasteurii (Schink 1985) Janssen et al. 1995 (the type species of the genus Lactosphaera) to the genus ¤ Trichococcus as ¤ Trichococcus pasteurii (Schink 1985) Liu et al. 2002, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Lactosphaera to ¤ Trichococcus.
