- 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 68, part 1 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018; 68:979-981.
- Bacillus weihenstephanensis is the correct name 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.
- The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is -0.05457 (N = 87).
- A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of the Bacillus cereus group was conducted by Liu et al. (2015). Publication: Liu Y, Lai Q, Goker M, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Wang M, Sun Y, Wang L, Shao Z. Genomic insights into the taxonomic status of the Bacillus cereus group. Sci Rep 2015; 5:14082.
