Notes:
- ⏰ According to Rong and Huang (2010), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces floridae Bartz et al. 1951 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Rong X, Huang Y. Taxonomic evaluation of the Streptomyces griseus clade using multilocus sequence analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization, with proposal to combine 29 species and three subspecies as 11 genomic species. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:696-703.
- ⏰ According to Rong and Huang (2010), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of "Actinomyces californicus" Waksman and Curtis 1916 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

- 😷 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 17 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
- 🙆 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.
