Note: Nevin et al. 2007 propose to transfer ¤ Trichlorobacter thiogenes De Wever et al. 2001 (the type species of the genus Trichlorobacter) to the genus ¤ Geobacter as ¤ Geobacter thiogenes (De Wever et al. 2001) Nevin et al. 2007, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Trichlorobacter to ¤ Geobacter.

2 According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published, because the original publication makes reference to the deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Trichlorobacter thiogenes De Wever et al. 2001 is considered to be validly published, since deposit in a second culture collection in a different country has been documented.
