Notes:
- ⏲ According to Committee (2025), this species is not a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus cereus Frankland and Frankland 1887 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Committee AH. Mitigating changes in prokaryotic nomenclature: Definitions and Workflow. Zenodo 2025; 2025:15320329.
- 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+". — 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 4 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🪓 Organisms assigned to this species have previously been classified as Bacillus mobilis Liu et al. 2017. Publication: Liu Y, Du J, Lai Q, Zeng R, Ye D, Xu J, Shao Z. Proposal of nine novel species of the Bacillus cereus group. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:2499-2508. 🇨🇳 Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list.

- 🫡 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded pathogenicity of the species itself. This name is not taxonomically suspended any more in favour of Bacillus mobilis Liu et al. 2017.
