• Notes:
  • ⏲ According to Miyadoh et al. (1990), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Microbispora rosea Nonomura and Ohara 1957 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Miyadoh S, Amano S, Tohyama H, Shomura T. A taxonomic review of the genus Microbispora and a proposal to transfer two species to the genus Actinomadura and to combine ten species into Microbispora rosea. J Gen Microbiol 1990; 136:1905-1913. 🇯🇵
  • ❗ Microbispora chromogenes is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Microbispora.
  • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.17250 (N = 10).
