Name: Pseudobacillus Verma et al. 2024

Category, proposed as: genus, gen. nov.

Etymology: Pseu.do.ba.cil’lus. Gr. neut. adj. pseudes, false; N.L. masc. n. Pseudobacillus, a false bacillus, because it is closely related to this genus and wrongly identified as Bacillus

Gender, pronunciation (Latin): masculine (stem: Pseudobacill-), pse͡u-do-ba-KIL-lus

Type species: Pseudobacillus badius (Batchelor 1919) Verma et al. 2024

    • 😢 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 LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
    • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is -0.04294 (N = 5).
    • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 2; IFO: 1; LMG: 1; NCTC: 1; NRRL: 1; VKM: 1; ATCC: 1; CCM: 1; HAMBI: 1; JCM: 1.
