Binomial name
Bacillus sporothermodurans Pettersson et al., 1996

Bacillus sporothermodurans is a species of bacteria notable for producing highly heat-resistant endospores, hence its name. ^[1] It is strictly aerobic. Its type strain is M215 (DSMZ 10599). ^[1]

This species has been recently transferred into the genus Heyndrickxia . ^[2] The correct nomenclature is Heyndrickxia sporothermodurans.
