Summary
Following the 1976 revision of the Bacteriological Code (see Appendix G), the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names was published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology (IJSB) on behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology (ICSB) of the International Association [now Union] of Microbiological Societies (Skerman et al., 1980). It took effect on 1st January 1980 and was subsequently reprinted in book form in 1980 by the American Society for Microbiology. For information, and with permission, the explanatory Introduction to the Approved Lists is reproduced here. All subsequent valid alterations and additions as well as proposals for change are published in the IJSB.
