The List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN; http://www.bacterio.net) is a database that lists the names of prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) that have been validly published in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology directly or by inclusion in a Validation List, under the Rules of International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. Currently there are 15 974 taxa listed. In addition, LPSN has an up-to-date classification of prokaryotes and information on prokaryotic nomenclature and culture collections.

Uncultivated microbes in need of their own taxonomy (2017, background): “Yet, there is no doubt that the great majority remains unclassified as only about 13 000 species of Bacteria and Archaea have been described and their names validly published to date (http://www.bacterio.net/; Parte, 2014).”
Recent Advances in Second Generation Ethanol Production by Thermophilic Bacteria (2014, background): “Clostridium is a large and highly diverse genus within the class Clostridia (family Clostridiaceae, order Clostridiales) and currently contains more than 200 validly described species of which only about 15 are thermophilic [29,30].”
SILVA, RDP, Greengenes, NCBI and OTT — how do these taxonomies compare? (2017, methodology): “…rank information for Archaea and Bacteria is obtained from Bergey’s Taxonomic Outlines [10–13] and from the List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [14], whereas eukaryotic taxonomy is based on the consensus views of the International Society of Pro-tistologists [15, 16].”
TYGS and LPSN: a database tandem for fast and reliable genome-based classification and nomenclature of prokaryotes (2021, positive): “One of the most influential and authoritative resources in this regard is the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN), which was first introduced more than two decades ago as a manually curated database (6) and maintained over the years (7).”
