Update on the genus Robertmurraya: a bacterial genus honoring Dr. Robert G.E. Murray (with some personal reminiscences)

This article also reflects on the serendipitous way I came to know Dr. Murray and his extensive interactions with me and strong support for our work for more tha n 10 years. Dr. Murray also introduced me and our work to his friend and contemporary Dr. Peter Sneath, who like him also contributed extensively to the field of prokaryotic taxonomy. This introduction led to a fruitful collaboration with Dr. Sneath leading to a joint publication describing the use of the Character Compatibility approach to molecular sequence data.
