Abstract
The Judicial Commission affirms that, according to the Rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (including changes made to the wording), the combination
Agrobacterium radiobacter
(Beijerinck and van Delden 1902) Conn 1942 has priority over the combination
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
(Smith and Townsend 1907) Conn 1942 when the two are treated as members of the same species based on the principle of priority as applied to the corresponding specific epithets. The type species of the genus is
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
(Smith and Townsend 1907) Conn 1942, even if treated as a later heterotypic synonym of
Agrobacterium radiobacter
(Beijerinck and van Delden 1902) Conn 1942.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
(Smith and Townsend 1907) Conn 1942 is typified by the strain defined on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and by strains known to be derived from the nomenclatural type.
