Notes:
- ⏰ According to Kwak et al. (2020), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Paenibacillus jamilae Aguilera et al. 2001. Publication: Kwak MJ, Choi SB, Ha SM, Kim EH, Kim BY, Chun J. Genome-based reclassification of Paenibacillus jamilae Aguilera et al. 2001 as a later heterotypic synonym of Paenibacillus polymyxa (Prazmowski 1880) Ash et al. 1994. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:3134-3138.
- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 70, part 5 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:4421-4424.
- ❗ Bacillus polymyxa 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.
