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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. 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 2026-08-13. 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.
    • 🎓 Name mentioned 5 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
    • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
    • 🧍 Rameshkumar found that the type strain is not available from JCM culture collection and that the type strain he received from the ARS culture collection and from the author who described this species were members of the genus Brevibacillus. Therefore he proposed 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, 2774). This is a misinterpretation of the Code, and the Request was denied in Opinion 113 because additional information would be needed. That is, the issue could be reconsidered in the future.
