• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Heliobacterium Gest and Favinger 1985. Publication: Kyndt JA, Montano Salama D, Meyer TE, Imhoff JF.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Heliobadllus"; "Heliohacillus".
  • ❗ Heliobacillus 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: ATCC: 1; DSM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "HOBC" 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.
