- De Vos et al. (2009) assigned this genus to the order Bacillales Prévot 1953 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Ludwig W, Schleifer K-H, Whitman WB. Class I. Bacilli class nov. In: De Vos P, Garrity GM, Jones D, Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Rainey FA, K.-H. S, Whitman WB (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd edn, vol. 3 (The Firmicutes), Springer, New York, 2009, p. 19-20.
- Tindall (2019) assigned this genus to the order Caryophanales Peshkoff 1939 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Tindall BJ. When treated as heterotypic synonyms the names Caryophanaceae Peshkoff 1939 (Approved Lists 1980) and Caryophanales Peshkoff 1939 (Approved Lists 1980) have priority over the names Planococcaceae Krasil'nikov 1949 (Approved Lists 1980) and Bacillales Prevot 1953 (Approved Lists 1980) and Bacillales Prevot 1953 (Approved Lists 1980), respectively. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:2187-2195.
- This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Ekiguobacterium"; "Exieobacterium"; "Exigobacterium"; "Exiguobaeterium"; "Exiguohacterium"; "Exigusbacterium"; "Exiquobacterium". — This taxon name is occasionally used in plural form as: "Exiguobacteria".
- Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Chaturvedi et al. (2008). 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.03166 (N = 3).
- The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 15; JCM: 6; CCUG: 6; CIP: 6; KCTC: 5; NCIMB: 2; CGMCC: 2; ATCC: 2; IFO: 2; NBRC: 2.
- Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "EXBT" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
