• Notes:
  • ❗ Nocardiopsis dassonvillei subsp. albirubida 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 dassonvillei within a separate genus Nocardiopsis.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 2. — 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.
  • 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
  • 🧍 In the abstract of the paper by Evtushenko et al. 2000, the type strain DSM 40465 is erroneously designated as DSM 43465 (sic). — In the paper by Evtushenko et al. 2000, this taxon is cited as Nocardiopsis dassonvillei subsp. albirubida (Grund and Kroppenstedt 1990) Evtushenko et al. 2000, subsp. nov., comb. nov. — Evtushenko et al. 2000 correct the wrong name alborubida (sic) to albirubida. — 🧍 In the summary of the paper by Evtushenko et al. 2000, the type strain DSM 40465 is erroneously designated as DSM 43465 (sic).
