Nomenclatural note
Beggiatoa is a conserved name in the Bacteria under the ICNP, and may not be affected by the Later Starting Point provisions in Art. 13. The basionym itself was not validly published, despite serving as the source of the epithet, under the ICNP. - (12 September 2016) - M.D. Guiry
