• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Microtetraspora Thiemann et al. 1968 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Kroppenstedt RM, Stackebrandt E, Goodfellow M. Taxonomic revision of the actinomycete genera Actinomadura and Microtetraspora. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 1990; 13:148-160. 🇩🇪
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Nonomuraea corrig. Zhang et al. 1998. Publication: Zhang Z, Wang Y, Ruan J. Reclassification of Thermomonospora and Microtetraspora. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1998; 48:411-422. 🇸🇬
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Actinomadura Lechevalier and Lechevalier 1970 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Meyer J. Genus Actinomadura Lechevalier and Lechevalier 1970a, 40OAL.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Iwrmopolyspora"; "Thermopolysporan".
  • 😡 This taxon name is a homonym of "Thermopolyspora" Henssen 1957.
  • 😢 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. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. 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. 🇬🇧
