Notes:
- According to Dunlap et al. (2016), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus axarquiensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Publication: Dunlap CA, Bowman MJ, Schisler DA, Rooney AP. Genome analysis shows Bacillus axarquiensis is not a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus mojavensis; reclassification of Bacillus malacitensis and Brevibacterium halotolerans as heterotypic synonyms of Bacillus axarquiensis. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:2438-2443.
