Notes:
- According to Guella et al. (2019), this species is not an earlier heterotypic synonym of Bacillus azotofixans Seldin et al. 1984. Publication: Guella F, Porto RZ, Sant'Anna FH, Ambrosini A, Passaglia LMP. Genomic metrics analyses indicate that Paenibacillus azotofixans is not a later synonym of Paenibacillus durus. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:2870-2876.
- According to Guella et al. (2019), this species is not an earlier heterotypic synonym of Paenibacillus azotofixans (Seldin et al. 1984) Ash et al. 1994. Publication: Guella F, Porto RZ, Sant'Anna FH, Ambrosini A, Passaglia LMP. Genomic metrics analyses indicate that Paenibacillus azotofixans is not a later synonym of Paenibacillus durus. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:2870-2876.
- According to Judicial-Commission (2003), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Bacillus azotofixans Seldin et al. 1984. Publication: Judicial C. Paenibacillus durus (Collins et al. 1994, formerly Clostridium durum Smith and Cato 1974) has priority over Paenibacillus azotofixans (Seldin et al. 1984). Opinion 73. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2003; 53:931.

- 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 69, part 9 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:3663-3665.
- Clostridium durum 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 Clostridium.
