he genus name Gloeobacter with the single species Gloeobacter violaceus was described by Rippka, Waterbury & Cohen-Bazire (Arch. Microbiol. 100: 419-436, 1974). However, this is not a validly published name and so it currently has no standing under the botanical International Code of Nomenclature (ICN, Mc Neil et al. 2012) or the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNB/ICNP, Lapage et al. 1992). The lack of valid publication of the genus name causes many problems in the taxonomy of this phylogenetically and experimentally important cyanophyte/cyanobacterium. We here propose validation of the names Gloeobacter Rippka et al. 1974, gen. nov (type: Gloeobacter violaceus) and Gloeobacter violaceus Rippka et al. 1974, sp. nov., utilising the description by Rippka et al. reproduced here, and supported by the exsiccate BRNM No. HY 2366 (under the rules of the botanical Code of nomenclature - ICN), using exsiccate from the type strain 7421 (PCC 7421 T = ATCC 29082 T).
