There are some important rules that must be followed to keep all binomial names standardised:
1. The first letter of the name of the genus should always be capitalised.

3. When written, the genus and species names should always be underlined separately; when printed it should be italicised. e.g., Pseudomonas syringae
4. The name or abbreviated name of the scientist describing the species first, should be written after the binomial name. The name is not italicised. e.g., Pseudomonas syringae van Hall
