• Notes:
  • Lee et al. 2000 [1] suggested that Lentzea albidocapillata Yassin et al. 1995, the type species of the genus Lentzea Yassin et al. 1995, be transferred to the genus Saccharothrix Labeda et al. 1984. Publication: Lee SD, Kim ES, Roe JH, Kim J, Kang SO, Hah YC. Saccharothrix violacea sp. nov., isolated from a gold mine cave, and Saccharothrix albidocapillata comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1315-1323.
  • Phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data do not support this proposal and, according to Labeda et al. 2001 [2], Lentzea is considered to be the current correct name of a genus in which the type species is Lentzea albidocapillata. Publication: Labeda DP, Hatano K, Kroppenstedt RM, Tamura T. Revival of the genus Lentzea and proposal for Lechevalieria gen. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1045-1050.
  • The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+".
