Comparative sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal (r)RNAs or DNAs of Bacillus alvei, B. laterosporus, B. macerans, B. macquariensis, B. polymyxa and B. stearothermophilus revealed the phylogenetic diversity of the genus Bacillus. Based on the presently available data set of 16S rRNA sequences from bacilli and relatives at least four major "Bacillus clusters" can be defined: a "Bacillus subtilis cluster" including B. stearothermophilus, a "B. brevis cluster" including B. laterosporus, a "B. alvei cluster" including B. macerans, B. maquariensis and B. polymyxa and a "B. cycloheptanicus branch".
对蜂房芽孢杆菌、侧孢芽孢杆菌、浸麻芽孢杆菌、麦夸里芽孢杆菌、多粘芽孢杆菌和嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌的16S核糖体（r）RNA或DNA进行的比较序列分析揭示了芽孢杆菌属的系统发育多样性。基于目前可获得的芽孢杆菌及其亲缘种的16S rRNA序列数据集，至少可以定义四个主要的“芽孢杆菌簇”：一个包括嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌的“枯草芽孢杆菌簇”，一个包括侧孢芽孢杆菌的“短芽孢杆菌簇”，一个包括浸麻芽孢杆菌、麦夸里芽孢杆菌和多粘芽孢杆菌的“蜂房芽孢杆菌簇”以及一个“环庚烷芽孢杆菌分支”。
