Notes:
- ❗ Streptomyces griseolosporeus 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.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 7 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
- 🙅 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.
- 🧍 The genus Kitasatospora corrig. Ōmura et al. 1983 is reduced to synonymy with Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980). For Kitasatospora corrig. griseola Ōmura et al. 1983 it is necessary to substitute a new specific epithet to produce Streptomyces griseolosporeus Wellington et al. 1992, because there is a senior homonym, Streptomyces griseolus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948, cited on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Rules 34a and 41a). Publication: Skerman VBD, McGowan V, Sneath PHA. Approved lists of bacterial names. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1980; 30:225-420.
- 🧍 This name was not found in the expected IJSEM notification list.
- 🧍 On the basis of phylogenetic (analysis of 16S rDNA sequences and analysis of 16S-23S gene spacers), chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic evidence, Zhang et al. 1997 propose that the genus Kitasatospora corrig. Ōmura et al. 1983 be either a sister taxon of the genus Streptomyces or a lineage that originated fom within Streptomyces species. Publication: Zhang Z, Wang Y, Ruan J. A proposal to revive the genus Kitasatospora (Omura, Takahashi, Iwai, and Tanaka 1982). Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:1048-1054.

Parent taxon: Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980)
