• Notes:
  • 🧕 Goeker (2022) assigned this family to the order Kitasatosporales Kämpfer 2022. Publication: Goker M. Filling the gaps: missing taxon names at the ranks of class, order and family. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5638.
  • 🧕 Volpiano et al. (2021) assigned this family to the class Actinobacteria Stackebrandt et al. 1997. Publication: Volpiano CG, Sant'Anna FH, da Mota FF, Sangal V, Sutcliffe I, Munusamy M, Saravanan VS, See-Too WS, Passaglia LMP, Rosado AS.

  • 🧒 Volpiano et al. (2021) assigned the genus Carbonactinospora Volpiano et al. 2021 to this family. Publication: Volpiano CG, Sant'Anna FH, da Mota FF, Sangal V, Sutcliffe I, Munusamy M, Saravanan VS, See-Too WS, Passaglia LMP, Rosado AS.

  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Streptomycetaceae Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Parte AC, Sarda Carbasse J, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Reimer LC, Goker M. List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) moves to the DSMZ. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:5607-5612.
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • ❗ Carbonactinosporaceae is the correct name instead if this family is regarded as a separate family (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another family whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
