Amycolatopsis rifamycinica
Amycolatopsis rifamycinica is a species of Gram-positive bacteria in the genus Amycolatopsis. It produces the rifamycin antibiotics (e.g., rifamycin SV), which are used to treat mycobacterial diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy. The type strain of Amycolatopsis rifamycinica (DSM 46095) has been reclassified several times. When it was first isolated from a French soil sample in 1957, it was identified as Streptomyces mediterranei. In 1969, the species was renamed Nocardia mediterranei because its cell wall was thought to resemble that of Nocardia species. The species was renamed Amycolatopsis mediterranei in 1986 after finding that it is not susceptible to Nocardia phage and has a cell wall that lacks mycolic acid. Finally, in 2004, it was determined that strain DSM 46095 represented a new species, independent of Amycolatopsis mediterranei, based on 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. The new species was named Amycolatopsis rifamycinica.

Hosam al-Din Ali Bitlisi
Hosam al-Din Ali Bitlisi Nurbakhshi (died 1494/95) was a Kurdish Sufi author. He was the father of the noted historian Idris Bitlisi.

According to Tahsin Yazici / Encyclopædia Iranica, nothing is known about Hosam al-Din's early life; however, he adds that his works bear evidence to the fact that he was well educated and was well versed in both Persian and Arabic. Either prior to completing his education, or after that, Hosam al-Din became a member of the Sufi Nurbakhshi order. The Nurbakhshi order itself was a branch of the Kobrawiya order (founded by Najm al-Din Kobra). Yazici considers it likely that Hosam al-Din became a follower and in turn the eventual successor of the so-called "actual" founder of the order; Mohammad Nurbakhsh (died 1465).

He died in Bitlis in 1494/95, and was buried there.
