Jean P. Euzéby era (1997-2013). Information on the original author of LPSN, Jean P. Euzéby, is found in his CV in the archive, which also contains a copy of the first version of this website.

Aidan C. Parte era (2013-2020). Information on the history of LPSN during this period is found on the Changelog page. The entire website has been archived as of November 2019, including an overview.

LPSN-DSMZ era (since 2020). In autumn 2019 Aidan C. Parte joined forces with staff members of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ - German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH to create a website baed on a completely new database implementation, which was originally developed for the Type-Strain Genome Server or TYGS. Data from LPSN were imported into that database together with data from Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date or PNU. PNU served essentially the same purpose as LPSN but covered fewer taxonomic categories. Please see the Changelog page for ongoing modifications of LPSN.

The maintainers of LPSN are grateful for the support by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP). The ICSP contributes as a sponsor but LPSN remains independent. Note, however, that the ICSP publishes the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP), and that the main purpose of LPSN is to implement the ICNP regarding taxon names.
