Nomenclatural status: not validly published

Risk group: 1

Notes:
- 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.
- Regarded as not validly published (Opinion 109). Currently the type strain of Bacillus aerius is not available. Dunlap 2015 requested the Judicial Commission to examine the status of the name Bacillus aerius Shivaji et al. 2006 (Request for an Opinion, Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 65, 2341). Another Request for an Opinion on this matter was published a little later by Liu et al. 2015 (Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 65, 3228–3232). Publication: Dunlap CA. The status of the species Bacillus aerius. Request for an Opinion. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:2341.
- The type strain 24K is no longer viable in the depositor's collection, the type strain JCM 13348 does not appear in the "JCM on-line catalogue of strains", and the MTCC may not provide the type strain MTCC 7303. The type strain cannot be found in another culture collection. So, to date (January 15, 2010), the type strain of Bacillus aerius is not available. — Dobritsa AP. Personal communication, 2010-01-15.
