  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Actinopolymor".
  • Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Yuan et al. (2010). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 5; JCM: 3; NRRL: 2; KCTC: 1; NBRC: 1; CCM: 1.
  • The genus name Actinopolymorpha is a substantive (N.L. fem. n.), not a neo-Latin adjective as cited by Wang et al. 2001. Publication: Euzeby JP. List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature: a folder available on the Internet. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:590-592.
