Notes:
- ❗ Bacillus firmus 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 authority of the taxon name (Bredemann and Werner) deliberately differs from the author of the publication (Werner).
