🧍 Referring to Nouioui et al. (2018), Salam et al. (2020) state that "In a more recent publication, more than 100 actinobacterial species were reclassified along with the proposals of 15 new genera, eight new families and two new orders using a genome-based phylogeny, besides rank reduction or elevation of few member strains [14]. Since the reclassification was restricted to species with genome sequences, species whose genomes are neither sequenced nor available in the public database were not incorporated in the taxonomic assessment." This statement misrepresents the study by Nouioui et al. (2018), as Nouioui et al. (2018) conducted comprehensive 16S rRNA gene analyses in addition to analyses of genome-sequenced taxa and used the results from these 16S rRNA gene analyses in their taxonomic assessments.

🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Promicronosporaceae"; "Promonomicrosporaceae".
🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP.Publication:
Toth E, Schumann P, Hamada M, Suzuki KI. International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes Subcommittee on the taxonomy of the suborder Micrococcineae Minutes of the meeting, 29 July 2014, Montreal, Canada. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:2068-2069.
💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Hamada et al. (2015), Wang et al. (2011). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
✏ The authority of the taxon name (Rainey et al.) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Stackebrandt et al.).
