• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Nocardiopsis alba subsp. prasina corrig. (Miyashita et al. 1984) Grund and Kroppenstedt 1990 but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Grund E, Kroppenstedt RM. Chemotaxonomy and numerical taxonomy of the genus Nocardiopsis Meyer 1976. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1990; 40:5-11.
  • ❗ Nocardiopsis alba subsp. alba 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 Nocardiopsis alba within a separate genus Nocardiopsis.
