• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Bacillus globisporus subsp. marinus Rüger and Richter 1979 (Approved Lists 1980) according to rule 40d. Publication: Rüger HJ, Richter G. Bacillus globisporus subsp. marinus subsp. nov. International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology 1979; 29:196-203.
  • ❗ Bacillus globisporus subsp. globisporus is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Bacillus globisporus within a separate genus Bacillus.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. 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.
  • 🧍 If an author accepts the elevation of Bacillus globisporus subsp. marinus (Larkin and Stokes 1967) Rüger and Richter 1979 (Approved Lists 1980) to full species status, then Bacillus globisporus subsp. globisporus Larkin and Stokes 1967 (Approved Lists 1980) should thereafter be designated simply as Bacillus globisporus Larkin and Stokes 1967 (Approved Lists 1980).

  • 🧍 The original authorship, Larkin and Stokes 1967, was corrected according to the new Rule 40d. Publication: Garrity GM, Labeda DP, Oren A.
