LPSN
List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on the naming and taxonomy of prokaryotes, following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. The database was curated from 1997 to June 2013 by Jean P. Euzéby. From July 2013 to January 2020, LPSN was curated by Aidan C. Parte. In February 2020, a new version of LPSN was published as a service of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ, thereby also integrating the Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date service.

Pseudonocardia
''Pseudonocardia'' is the type genus of the bacteria family Pseudonocardiaceae. Members of this genus have been found living mutualistically on the cuticle of the leafcutter ants because the bacteria has antibiotic properties that protect the fungus grown by the ants. When they are grooming, their legs are passed over their mouth gland (metapleural gland) that produces the antibiotic and then their legs touch the fungi while they are walking around. The ants have metapleural glands that produce the antimicrobial components to eliminate the ''Escovopsis'' fungi. The bacteria may also be found in crypts on the propleural plate. ''Pseudonocardia'' is found to have antibiotic properties provided to the leaf-cutter ant to inhibit the growth of ''Escovopsis'', which is a black yeast that parasitizes the leaf-cutter ant. ''Pseudonocardia'' can be found in both aquatic (including marine) and terrestrial ecosystems. ''Pseudonocardia'' belongs to the phylum ''Actinobacteria.'' Most ''Actino ...
