 ====== Frequently Asked Questions ======
+===== Q1: Nomenclature =====
   * Q1: The nomenclature of many species in Mollicutes has been changed recently. For example, //Mycoplasma genitalium// ([[https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/mycoplasma-genitalium|LPSN link]]) was reclassified as //Mycoplasmoides genitalium// ([[https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/mycoplasmoides-genitalium|LPSN link]]). Which one is the "correct name"? How do I choose?
   * A1: These two names are __synonyms__, both are validly published under the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP). An author can choose his/her preferred name to use in publications.
