    • 🫂 Emendation accompanied by a proposal regarding the synonymy of the subspecies.
    • 🧍 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)".

• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. asoensis Isono et al. 1965 (Approved Lists 1980) but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Isono K, Nagatsu J, Kawashima Y, Suzuki S. Studies on polyoxins, antifungal antibiotics. Part I. Isolation and characterization of polyoxins A and B. Agricultural and Biological Chemistry 1965; 29:848-854.
  • ❗ Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. cacaoi 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 Streptomyces cacaoi within a separate genus Streptomyces.
