Abstract
Type strains are designated for Microbispora rosea, Waksmania rosea and Thermopolyspora bispora; these are IMRU 3757 (ATCC 12950), IMRU 3748 (ATCC 15334), and IMRU 3759 (ATCC 15737), respectively. A comparison of the type strains has shown these organisms to belong to the same genus, Microbispora, which name has priority. The first two types listed above are nearly identical and belong to the same species, M. rosea. The last type differs sufficiently from the others so that it represents another species in the genus Microbispora, for which the name M. bispora (Henssen) comb. nov. is proposed. Waksmania Lechevalier and Lechevalier 1957 and Thermopolyspora Henssen 1957 are regarded as later subjective synonyms of Microbispora Nonomura and Ohara 1957.
