• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Streptosporangium viridogriseum subsp. kofuense Nonomura and Ohara 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) according to rule 40d. Publication: Nonomura H, Ohara Y. Distribution of actinomycetes in soil. VII. A culture method effective for both preferential isolation and enumeration of Microbispora and Streptosporangium strains in soil. (Part 2). Classification of the isolates. Journal of Fermentation Technology 1969; 47:701-709.
  • ❗ Streptosporangium viridogriseum subsp. viridogriseum 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 Streptosporangium viridogriseum within a separate genus Streptosporangium.
