• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Micromonospora halophytica subsp. nigra Weinstein et al. 1968 (Approved Lists 1980) but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Weinstein MJ, Luedemann GM, Oden EM, Wagman GH. Halomicin, a new Micromonospora-produced antibiotic. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 1968; 1967:435-441.
  • ❗ Micromonospora halophytica subsp. halophytica 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 halophytica within a separate genus Micromonospora.
