Abstract:
The Living Tree Project (LTP) team announces the first LTP release in 2011. The LTP database compiles the sequences of all validly named species with a high quality entry in the public repositories. The current release LTPs104 is the fifth update of the database that contains all new classified taxa with names validly published up to the December 2010 issue (vol. 60) of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM). The previous update of the LTP (LTPs102) contained type strain sequences with a valid name publication effective up to February 2010 (IJSEM 60(2)). During the intervening 10-month period, a total of 530 new species had been classified and their names validly published. Among them, 32 were new combinations of already classified taxa, and two lacked good quality 16S rRNA entries. Additionally, nine SSU entries were submitted after EMBL release 104 and will be included in the next LTP update. No further updating has been carried out on the 23S rRNA-based All-Species Living Tree due to the low number of newly sequenced type-strain LSU genes since LTP release 102.
