  • 🧍 According to Boondaeng et al. 2009, Microbispora amethystogenes Nonomura and Ohara 1960 (Approved Lists 1980) is not a later synonym of Microbispora rosea subsp. rosea Nonomura and Ohara 1957 (Approved Lists 1980). A combination of genotypic and phenotypic data supports the classification of Microbispora amethystogenes as a separate species. Publication: Nonomura H, Ohara Y.
