• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Pseudonocardia Henssen 1957 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Warwick S, Bowen T, McVeigh H, Embley TM. A phylogenetic analysis of the family Pseudonocardiaceae and the genera Actinokineospora and Saccharothrix with 16S rRNA sequences and a proposal to combine the genera Amycolata and Pseudonocardia in an emended genus Pseudonocardia. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1994; 44:293-299.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Amycofata"; "Amycolufa"; "Arnycolata".
  • ❗ Amycolata is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 5; IFO: 4; JCM: 4; VKM: 4; NBRC: 4; NRRL: 3; ATCC: 3; CIP: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 2".
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "AMCT" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
