Notes:
- ❗ Bacillus ginsengihumi 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 8 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.
- 🧍 In the effective publication the type strain DSM 18134 is cited as DSMZ 18134. Publication: Euzeby JP. Validation list no. 116. List of new names and new combinations previously effectively, but not validly, published. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2007; 57:1371-1373.
