List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on the naming and taxonomy of prokaryotes, [1] following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of the International 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 the Leibniz Institute DSMZ, thereby also integrating the Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date service. [4]
