这项研究的目的是分析尊重人的原核名字，大写字母,从性别角度来看。数据从原核生物名称列表中检索，并以命名。不包括新组合，属的23315个独特名称的词源，物种和亚种进行了分析。共有2018年(8.7%)的名字荣誉人物(地名)，进一步调查了女性份额随时间的发展情况。与男性（1823年）相比，女性最近（1947年）开始受到尊重。此外，只有14.8%的原核大名是指女性。自1947年以来，这一比例几乎没有改善，尽管随着时间的推移，对微生物学做出贡献的妇女人数有所增加。相比之下,来自神话人物的原核生物名称中约有50％是指女性。为了缩小性别差距，我们鼓励作者提出新的分类单元名称，以表彰可以作为新一代榜样的女科学家。
The aim of this study is to analyse prokaryotic names which honour persons, eponyms, from a gender perspective. Data were retrieved from the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature. Excluding new combinations, the etymologies of 23 315 unique names at the rank of genus, species and subspecies were analysed. A total of 2018 (8.7 %) names honour persons (eponyms), for which the development of the female share over time was further investigated. Women started to be honoured very recently (1947) compared to men (1823). Moreover, only 14.8 % of all prokaryotic eponyms refer to females. This ratio has hardly improved since 1947, although the number of women whose contributions to microbiology could have been recognized has increased over time. In contrast, about 50 % of prokaryotic names derived from mythological characters refer to females. To reduce this gender gap, we encourage authors proposing new taxon names to honour female scientists who can serve as role models for new generations.
