Notes:
- According to Dunlap et al. (2016), this species is not a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (ex Fukomoto 1943) Priest et al. 1987. 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.
- According to Wang et al. (2008), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (ex Fukomoto 1943) Priest et al. 1987. Publication: Wang LT, Lee FL, Tai CJ, Kuo HP. Bacillus velezensis is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:671-675.
- According to Dunlap et al. (2016), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Bacillus methylotrophicus Madhaiyan et al. 2010. 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.
