• Notes:
  • 🧕 Cavalier-Smith (1981) assigned this genus to the subkingdom "Eubacteria" Cavalier-Smith 1981. Publication: Cavalier-Smith T. Eukaryote kingdoms: seven or nine? Biosystems 1981; 14:461-481.
  • 🧕 Goodfellow and Williams (1983) assigned this genus to the uncategorized "Streptomycetes" Goodfellow and Williams 1983. Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST. Ecology of actinomycetes. Annu Rev Microbiol 1983; 37:189-216.
  • 🧕 Matsumae et al. (1968) assigned this genus to the family Actinoplanaceae Couch 1955 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Matsumae A, Ohtani M, Takeshima H, Hata T. A new genus of the Actinomycetales: Kitasatoa gen. nov. J Antibiot (Tokyo) 1968; 21:616-625.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST, Alderson G. Transfer of Kitasatoa purpurea Matsumae and Hata to the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces purpureus comb. nov. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 1986; 8:65-66.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Kitasaioa"; "Kitusato".
  • ❗ Kitasatoa 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 authority of the taxon name (Matsumae and Hata) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Matsumae et al.).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: ATCC: 4; JCM: 4; IFO: 3; NBRC: 3; DSM: 2; VKM: 1; CCRC: 1; KCTC: 1; LMG: 1; NRRL: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "KTST" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
