Support the Best of Both Worlds

It is very important to maintain this service as bacterial nomenclature has been developing in a rapid pace. I work at a small satellite laboratory and this source updates me with the most recent bacterial nomenclature from one authorised and valid source. Thank you for your great service.

I fully support the proposal being presented.

The fields of clinical, public health, and veterinary sciences and medicine are dependent upon the ability to not only recognize universally accepted and culturable prokaryotes but also to exchange viable organisms for scientific research, treat infected patients and animals, provide key epidemiologic data concerning emerging or emergent diseases, etc. These are the principles and foundation for the development of vaccines as well as basic knowledge regarding ecosystems and pathogenicity. I am opposed to equate sequence data with viable cultures.

For researchers related to microbiology, and specifically to bacteriology, LPSN is an essential tool for the development of a rigorous work in terms of nomenclature.

I support the "Best of Both Worlds" solution.

I gree

Living cultures are superior to simple sequences, which do not allow any reproduction of experimental results!

I am a diplomate of the European College of Veterinary MIcrobiology and I support this proposal

SeqCode removes the incentive to cultivate and deposit from prokaryotic nomenclature, reduces scientific replicability, undermines a scientific standard, and is fundamentally unfair, giving equal status to names based on the accessible organism itself and names based solely on experimental results. The ICSP should not accept the SeqCode but ratify a more suitable alternative, the "Best of Both Worlds".
