The ICSP is saddened to learn of the death of Professor Michael Goodfellow. A world-renowned expert on Actinomycetota, Mike established countless national and international collaborations and taught numerous students during his decades-long career. He will be sorely missed.

Prof. Aharon Oren of the ICSP has published a "guide for the perplexed" about "validly published names, correct names, and changes in the nomenclature of phyla and genera of prokaryotes" (doi.org/10.1038/s41522…).

New minimal standards for the description of new taxa of #halobacteria have just been proposed (doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.…).

Fun with names: Deefgea rivuli (lpsn.dsmz.de/species/deefge…) is a slime-producing bacterium named after the DFG public | @[email protected] German Research Council. A comment on bureaucracy?

On obituary for Mike Goodfellow has been published in the Guardian (theguardian.com/science/2024/a…).
