Paenibacillus (Formerly Bacillus) gordonae (Pichinoty et. al. 1986) Ash et al. 1994 Is a Later Subjective Synonym of Paenibacillus (Formerly Bacillus) validus (Nakamura 1984) Ash et al. 1994: Emended Description of P. validus HEYNDRICKX, M. and VANDEMEULEBROECKE, K. and SCHELDEMAN, P. and HOSTE, B. and KERSTERS, K. and DE VOS, P. and LOGAN, N. A. and AZIZ, A. M. and ALI, N. and BERKELEY, R. C.

P. validus has nomenclatural priority, and an emended description of this species is given; the type strain is strain LMG 11161 (= ATCC 43897)., language=, type=
