• Synonyms:

  • Name	Kind
    Bacillus stercoris (Adelskov and Patel 2017) Dunlap et al. 2020	homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP, distinct rank
    "Bacillus subtilis subsp. stecoris" Adelskov and Patel 2016	homotypic synonym, not validly published

• Notes:
  • ❗ Bacillus subtilis subsp. stercoris 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 subtilis within a separate genus Bacillus.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+". — 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.
  • 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
  • 🧍 The original spelling of the subspecific epithet, stecoris (sic), has been corrected on validation. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Validation list no. 178. List of new names and new combinations previously effectively, but not validly, published. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:4291-4293.
