Notes:
- ⏲ According to Claverias et al. (2022), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Nocardiopsis kunsanensis Chun et al. 2000. Publication: Claverias FP, Serna-Cardona N, Cumsille A, Zamora-Leiva L, Riesco R, Couve E, Trujillo ME, Camara B. Spiractinospora alimapuensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment of Valparaiso Bay (Chile) and proposal for reclassification of two species of the genus Nocardiopsis. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5207. 🇨🇱
- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 72, part 1 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5292.
- ❗ Nocardiopsis litoralis 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 Nocardiopsis.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 3 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
