Minimal standards for describing new taxa within the aerobic endospore-forming bacteria are proposed, following Recommendation 30b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). These minimal standards are recommended as guidelines to assist authors in the preparation of descriptions for novel taxa. They encourage broad polyphasic characterization and the construction of descriptions that are practically useful in routine diagnostic laboratories. The proposals have been endorsed by the Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of the Genus Bacillus and Related Organisms of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes.

A detailed listing of the aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria, together with a brief historical account of the taxonomy of these organisms, and a list of relevant curated 16S rRNA gene sequences of aerobic endospore-formers and relatives are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
