Abstract
The neotype strain of Zoogloea ramigera Itzigsohn is strain I-16-M (= ATCC 19623 = NCIB 10340 = NCTC 10482). However, this strain is not suitable as a neotype, primarily because of its inability to form the true zoogloeas cited by Itzigsohn in his original description of this organism. It is requested, therefore, that the Judicial Commission issue an Opinion rejecting strain I-16-M as the neotype of Z. ramigera and replacing it with strain 106 (= ATCC 19544).
