Duncan and her colleagues in the United Kingdom in 2002 for the reclassification of formerly misidentified strains of Fusobacterium prausnitzii ATCC 27768T and its reference strain ATCC 27766, along with two other isolates (A2-165 and L2-6). Consequently, these strains have been reclassified as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (hereinafter F. prausnitzii). Currently the genus Faecalibacterium is recognized as one of the most important gut butyrate-producing bacteria for human health. Since 2017, JCM has been distributing strain A2-165 JCM 31915 = DSM 17677). Since its launch, this strain has been used by many researchers and boasts the third highest track record of distribution. F. prausnitzii strain A2-165 is not a type strain, but it is a very famous strain that is used by a large number of researchers at the world level. Intraspecific diversity of F. prausnitzii has been discussed for some time. A paper on the reclassification of Faecalibacterium strains was published in the April issue 2022 of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM). Therefore, the scientific name of F. prausnitzii JCM 31915 (strain A2-165), which has been distributed by JCM, has been changed to Faecalibacterium duncaniae JCM 31915T. The scientific name of this strain is named after Dr. Sylvia H. Duncan, who founded the genus Faecalibacterium. References Sakamoto et al. 2022.

The lists are available for all prokaryotes (i.e., Bacteria and Archaea) and for some individual groups, such as Archaea, Lactic acid bacteria, and Yeasts. Using the lists, JCM strains could be concentrated based on taxonomic names of higher ranks, medium numbers, growth temperatures, etc. The lists will be helpful in selecting and ordering JCM strains.
