- Hirota et al. 2014 Hirota K, Hanaoka Y, Nodasaka Y, Yumoto I. Gracilibacillus alcaliphilus sp. nov., a facultative alkaliphile isolated from indigo fermentation liquor for dyeing. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3174-3180. Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 64, part 9 of the IJSEM.

  Notes:
  - Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
  - The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the ((text/phylogenetic-inference#the-role-of-phylogenies-in-taxonomic-classification==LPSN phylogeny page)) for details.

Notes:
- Recommended reviewers for taxonomic proposals in this group are the corresponding authors of Kim et al. (2012).
