List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on thenaming andtaxonomy ofprokaryotes,[1] following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of theInternational Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.[2] The database was curated from 1997 to June 2013 by Jean P. Euzéby.[3] From July 2013 to January 2020, LPSN was curated by Aidan C. Parte.[2]
In February 2020, a new version of LPSN was published as a service of theLeibniz Institute DSMZ, thereby also integrating the Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date service[4] and since 2022 LPSN is interconnected with the Type (Strain) Genome Server (TYGS), DSMZ's high-throughput platform for accurate genome-based taxonomy.[5]
