• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Paenibacillus macquariensis subsp. defensor Hoshino et al. 2009 according to rule 40d. Publication: Hoshino T, Nakabayashi T, Hirota K, Matsuno T, Koiwa R, Fujiu S, Saito I, Tkachenko OB, Matsuyama H, Yumoto I.

  • 😢 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 2023-10-29. 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.
  • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
