  Notes:
  - Emendation accompanied by a proposal regarding the synonymy of the species. — The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the associated publication is not functional any more.
  - In the paper by Lanoot et al. 2002, the LMG type strain is erroneously cited as LMG 19360.
  - In the table of contents for the May 2002 issue of the IJSEM, the title of the paper by Lanoot et al. 2002 is erroneously cited as "The search for synonyms among streptomycetes by using SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins. Emendation of the species Streptomyces aurantiacus, Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. cacaoi, Streptomyces caeruleus and Streptomyces violatus (sic)".
