Comments and References:

Bacillus mojavensis = B. axarquiensis = B. malacitensis
Wang et al. (2007) report DNA-DNA hybridization values of >90% among B. mojavensis, B. axarquiensis, and B. malacitensis. Ruiz-Garcia et al. (2005) report values of <50% between B. mojavensis and both B. axarquiensis and B. malacitensis.
