Since the word 'Filipin' comes from a streptomyces found in Philippines, (< Philip II of Spain < Φίλιππος [fi-li-poss] of the New Testament originally from the the Greek word Φίλιππος (one who loves horses, accidentally it was thw name of Alexander thw Great father) I think that both the streptomyces and the compound under consideration should be written philippiensis and phlippin accordingly. I know that there is a trend toy transcribe the Greek Φ as F nowadays, but the double pp should remaine. I did not make the correction myself, out of fear that I would transgress WIKIPWEDIA policies. In case that I am wrong, please notify me; or allow me to make the afordmentioned correction. Thank you Leonicos Leonicos (talk) 11:59, 29 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
