• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Micromonospora carbonacea subsp. aurantiaca Luedemann and Brodsky 1965 (Approved Lists 1980) but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Luedemann GM, Brodsky BC. Micromonospora carbonacea sp. n., an everninomicin-producing organism. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 1965; 1964:47-52.
  • ❗ Micromonospora carbonacea subsp. carbonacea is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Micromonospora carbonacea within a separate genus Micromonospora.
  • 😷 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.
