The Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes has decided to place the genus Methanothrix with the species Methanothrix soehngenii Huser et al. 1983 on the list of nomina rejicienda, based on the fact that it is not represented by an axenic culture and contravenes Rule 31a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. The species Methanothrix thermophila is transferred to the genus Methanosaeta as Methanosaeta thermophila (Kamagata et al. 1992) Boone and Kamagata 1998 comb. nov.
国际原核生物系统分类学委员会司法委员会决定,基于未分离出无菌培养物且违反《国际细菌命名法规》第31a条的事实,将甲烷丝状菌属及索氏甲烷丝状菌(Huser等人,1983年)列入废弃名称清单。嗜热甲烷丝状菌被转移至甲烷八叠球菌属,成为嗜热甲烷八叠球菌(Kamagata等人,1992年)Boone和Kamagata,1998年,组合新名。
