Valid publication: Madhaiyan M, Poonguzhali S, Kwon SW, Sa TM. Bacillus methylotrophicus sp. nov., a methanol-utilizing, plant-growth-promoting bacterium isolated from rice rhizosphere soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:2490-2495.

IJSEM list: Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 60, part 10 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:4-5.

Nomenclatural status: validly published under the ICNP

Taxonomic status: synonym

Correct name: Bacillus velezensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005

Synonyms:

Name	Kind
Bacillus velezensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum Borriss et al. 2011	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP, distinct rank

Emendations:
- Dunlap et al. 2015 Dunlap CA, Kim SJ, Kwon SW, Rooney AP. Phylogenomic analysis shows that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus methylotrophicus. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:2104-2109. Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 65, part 7 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:3233-3234.
  Notes:
  - Emendation accompanied by a proposal regarding the synonymy of the species.

Notes:
- According to Dunlap et al. (2016), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus velezensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005. Publication: Dunlap CA, Kim SJ, Kwon SW, Rooney AP. Bacillus velezensis is not a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Bacillus methylotrophicus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum and 'Bacillus oryzicola' are later heterotypic synonyms of Bacillus velezensis based on phylogenomics. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:1212-1217.
- Bacillus methylotrophicus is the correct name 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.16596 (N = 60).
