Notes:
- ❗ Bacillus filamentosus is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Bacillus.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 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.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 5 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
- 🧍 "The name was proposed as sp. nov., and not as nom. rev. There is no connection between the proposed species and Bacillus filamentosus Migula 1900" (Footnote in the Validation List no. 163 edited by A. Oren and G. M. Garrity; Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015, 65, 1105–1111). Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Validation list no. 163.
