- 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
- 🧍 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.
