Notes:
- ⏰ According to Dinsdale et al. (2011), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Geobacillus gargensis Nazina et al. 2004. Publication: Dinsdale AE, Halket G, Coorevits A, Van Landschoot A, Busse HJ, De Vos P, Logan NA. Emended descriptions of Geobacillus thermoleovorans and Geobacillus thermocatenulatus. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1802-1810.
- ❗ Bacillus thermocatenulatus 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.
