title: [A new description of the type strain of Halobacterium distributum].
abstract: The descriptions of strains assigned to the species Halobacterium distributum were supplemented with the results of chemo-and genotaxonomic studies. According to these data, H. distributum VKM B-1733, which was hitherto regarded as the type strain of H. distributum, cannot be assigned to this species. Instead, strain H. distributum VKM B-1739 is proposed as the type strain. It is also suggested that strain VKM B-1954 should be transferred to H. distributum.
