Original descriptions and comparative studies indicate that Thermoactinomyces monosporus and Thermoactinomyces viridis produce single spores on aerial mycelium only and should be classified as a species of Thermomonospora. Thermoactinomyces viridis Schuurmans et al., 1956, becomes Thermomonospora viridis (Schuurmans et al.) comb. nov. Our isolate P101 is proposed as a neotype of Thermomonospora viridis and is deposited at NRRL (B-3044). The species name Thermoactinomyces monosporus (Lehmann and Schütze) Waksman should be recognized as a “nomen dubium” because of the inadequate description, particularly of its cultural and physiological characteristics and the lack of a culture of the type strain.
