Nomenclatural status: not validly published

Taxonomic status: preferred name (not correct name)

Risk group: 1

Notes:
- 😢 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. 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 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.
- 🧍 Considered not validly published (Opinion 109). As the type strain is not available from any established culture collection, nor from the authors who originally described the species, Branquinho et al. 2015 propose to place the name on the list of rejected names if no replacement is found within two years (Request for an Opinion, Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 65, 1101). The request was supported by Liu et al. 2015 (Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 65, 3228–3232). Publication: Branquinho R, Klein G, Kampfer P, Peixe LV. The status of the species Bacillus aerophilus and Bacillus stratosphericus. Request for an Opinion. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:1101.
- 🧍 The type strain 41KF2a is no longer viable in the depositor's collection, the type strain JCM 13349 does not appear in the "JCM on-line catalogue of strains", and the MTCC may not provide the type strain MTCC 7305. The type strain cannot be found in another culture collection. So, to date (January 15, 2010), the type strain of Bacillus stratosphericus is not available. — Dobritsa AP.
