  • Notes:
    • ⏲ According to Ates et al. (2023), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces tanashiensis Hata et al. 1952 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Ates H, Saygin H, Cora M, Kilic AO, Ay H. Genome-based classification of Streptomyces anatolicus sp. nov., an actinobacterium with antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, and reclassification of Streptomyces nashvillensis as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces tanashiensis. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2023; 116:1073-1090. 🇹🇷
    • 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Göker M. List of changes in taxonomic opinion no. 40. Notification of changes in taxonomic opinion previously published outside the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6482.
    • ❗ Streptomyces nashvillensis 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.
