Note: Yoon et al. 2010 propose to transfer Marinibacillus marinus (Rüger and Richter 1979) Yoon et al. 2001 (the type species of the genus Marinibacillus) to the genus ¤ Jeotgalibacillus Yoon et al. 2001 as ¤ Jeotgalibacillus marinus (Rüger and Richter 1979) Yoon et al. 2010, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Marinibacillus to ¤ Jeotgalibacillus.

Notes:
1 According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published because the effective publication only documents deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Marinibacillus marinus (Rüger and Richter 1979) Yoon et al. 2001 is to be considered to be validly published.
