Notes:
- ❗ Streptomyces erythraeus 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 Streptomyces.
- 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — 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.

- 🧍 Labeda 1987 [1], proposed also an emendation of Streptomyces erythraeus [Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Labeda 1987] with a neotype strain: strain NRRL B-5616 = NRRL-ISP 5059 = Sanchez-Marroquin A-24. According to Rules 18c and 18g, only the Judicial Commission may decide to take action leading to replacement of the type strain and according to Rule 37a(2) retention of a name in a sense which excludes the type can only be effected by conservation and only by the Judicial Commission. Therefore, Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Labeda 1987 is not in accordance with the rules of the ICNP and may not be used (Rule 51a) and a new species Streptomyces labedae Lacey 1987 is provided for this taxon [2]. — 🧍 Rule 17 states that the type determines the application of a taxon if the taxon is subsequently divided or united with another taxon, and Rule 40b that the specific epithet must be retained for the species which includes the type strain. Since Saccharopolyspora erythraea (Waksman 1923) Labeda 1987 contains the type strain of Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948 (Approved Lists 1980), the new taxon must be regarded as a new combination. Publication: Lacey J. Nomenclature of Saccharopolyspora erythraea Labeda 1987 and Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948, and proposals for the alternative epithet Streptomyces labedae sp. nov.

- 🧍 The type strain (ATCC 11635= NRRL 2338 = NRRL-ISP 5517) of Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948 (Approved Lists 1980) is not a representative of the genus Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980) and a new species, Saccharopolyspora erythraea Labeda 1987, is created for this strain and other strains having type IV cell walls [1]. Publication: Labeda DP. Transfer of the type strain of Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948 to the genus Saccharopolyspora Lacey and Goodfellow 1975 as Saccharopolyspora erythraea sp. nov., and designation of a neotype strain for Streptomyces erythraeus.
