- 🧍 For the transfer of Streptoverticillium album Locci et al. 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) in the genus Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980), it is necessary to substitute a new specific epithet to produce Streptomyces luteosporeus because there is a senior homonym, Streptomyces albus (Rossi Doria 1891) Waksman and Henrici 1943 included 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.
