• Notes:
  • 🧕 De Vos et al. (2009) assigned this genus to the family Planococcaceae Krassilnikov 1949 (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.

  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Sporosarcina Kluyver and van Niel 1936 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Gupta RS, Patel S.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Filibucter".
  • ❗ Filibacter is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 2; CCM: 1; ATCC: 1; NCIMB: 1; LMG: 1; CIP: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "FIBT" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
