Abstract

The genus Robertmurraya was created by my group in 2020 to recognize the contributions of Dr. Robert G.E. Murray to the field of prokaryotic taxonomy. This manuscript updates the information regarding this genus. In addition to the seven Robertmurraya species with validly published names, the work presented here shows that two species with effectively published names, "Bacillus yapensis" and "Bacillus dakarensis", and an uncharacterized Bacillus sp. Y1 are also affiliated with this genus. Based on these results, reclassification of "Bacillus yapensis" as a novel species Robertmurraya yapensis sp. nov. is proposed. It is also suggested that "Bacillus dakarensis", for which strains are not available from culture collections, should also be recognized as "Robertmurraya dakarensis". This article also reflects on the serendipitous way I came to know Dr. Murray and his extensive interactions with me and strong support for our work for more than 10 years. Dr. Murray also introduced me and our work to his friend and contemporary Dr. Peter Sneath, who like him also contributed extensively to the field of prokaryotic taxonomy. This introduction led to a fruitful collaboration with Dr. Sneath leading to a joint publication describing the use of the Character Compatibility approach to molecular sequence data.

Robertmurraya属的更新：一个纪念Robert G.E.Murray博士的细菌属（带有一些个人回忆）。

Robertmuraya属是我的团队于2020年创建的，旨在表彰Robert G.E.Murray博士对原核分类学领域的贡献。这份手稿更新了有关该属的信息。除了七个已有效公布名称的罗伯莫拉亚属物种外，本文的工作表明，两个已有效发表名称的物种，“亚彭西斯芽孢杆菌”和“达卡伦西斯芽孢杆菌（Bacillus dakarensis）”，以及一个未鉴定的芽孢杆菌属。Y1也隶属于该属。在此基础上，提出将“亚彭斯芽孢杆菌”重新分类为亚彭斯罗伯霉属新种。也有人建议，“达卡氏芽孢杆菌”（Bacillus dakarensis）也应被认定为“达卡伦氏罗伯菌”。这篇文章还回顾了我偶然认识默里博士的过程，以及他与我的广泛互动，以及10多年来对我们工作的大力支持。Murray博士还将我和我们的工作介绍给了他的朋友、同时代的Peter Sneath博士，他和他一样，也对原核分类学领域做出了广泛贡献。这一介绍导致了与Sneath博士的富有成果的合作，导致了一份联合出版物，描述了分子序列数据的字符兼容性方法的使用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
