Methylothermus thermalis, the designated type species of the genus Methylothermus, is not available from culture collections and its nomenclatural type is a patent strain. According to Rule 20a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, only species whose names are legitimate may serve as types of genera. Therefore, the name Methylothermus and the names of the species Methylothermus thermalis and Methylothermus subterraneus are not validly published and are illegitimate. We therefore submit a Request for an Opinion to the Judicial Commission of the ICSP to consider the later-named Methylothermus subterraneus as the new type species of the genus Methylothermus based on Rule 20e(2).

A novel methane-oxidizing bacterium, strain HTM55(T), was isolated from subsurface hot aquifer water from a Japanese gold mine. Strain HTM55(T) was a Gram-negative, aerobic, motile, coccoid bacterium with a single polar flagellum and the distinctive intracytoplasmic membrane arrangement of a type I methanotroph. Strain HTM55(T) was a moderately thermophilic, obligate methanotroph that grew on methane and methanol at 37-65 °C (optimum 55-60 °C).
