Abstract

In the current Opinion we respond to the major concerns by Bisgaard et al. (2019) and Overmann et al. (2019) and conclude that the adoption of sequences as types for the names of prokaryotes will allow for improvements of the taxonomic framework, increased stability of names derived from robust phylogenomic methods, and enable a full circumscription of the microbial world rather than just the cultivated minority.
