LPSN

List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains and provides accurate name (nomenclature and taxonomy) and related information of prokaryotes according to the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (Bacteriological Code[1]), curated by prof. Euzéby.[2]

Bacterial and Archeal taxonomy is updated through the journal International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSB/IJSEM).

The server is located in Toulouse, France.

The site, in addition to keeping track of current taxonomic names, has several reference resources explaining minimal standard for the description of new taxa,[3][4] Latin and Greek grammar aids[5] and gives an exhaustive list of culture collections worldwide which deal in prokaryotes culture[6] and others.
