Note: Goodfellow et al. 1986 propose to transfer ¤ Microellobosporia cinerea Cross et al. 1963 (Approved Lists 1980), the type species of the genus Microellobosporia, to the genus ¤ Streptomyces as ¤ Streptomyces cinereus (Cross et al. 1963) Goodfellow et al. 1986, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Microellobosporia to ¤ Streptomyces.
