Metabacillus is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria exhibiting Gram-positive or Gram-variable staining in the family Bacillaceae within the order Bacillales.^[1]^[2] The type species for this genus is Metabacillus fastidiosus.^[1]

This genus was demarcated from the phylogenetically complicated genus Bacillus, whose unclear evolutionary relationships have been long been under scrutiny by the scientific community.^[2]^[3]^[4] The polyphyletic nature of the genus Bacillus is partly due to the vague criteria used to assign novel bacteria to this genus, resulting in an agglomeration of phylogenetically unrelated bacteria with a diverse range of biochemical characteristics.^[2] Comparative genomic studies and phylogenetic analyses have been published to clarify the complicated relationships within this genus resulting in the transfer of many Bacillus species into novel genera such as Alkalihalobacillus,^[1] Virigibacillus,^[5] Brevibacillus,^[6] Solibacillus^[7] and Peribacillus.^[8] In addition, the genus itself has been restricted to only include species closely related to its type species, Bacillus subtilis as well as Bacillus cereus.^[1]^[8]

The name Metabacillus is derived from its taxonomic position identified through phylogenetic trees. The prefix "meta-" comes from the Greek adjective meta, and translates to "beside". Bacillus comes from the Latin noun bacillus, referring to both 'a small staff or rod' and Bacillus, the bacterial genus. Put together, the name Metabacillus refers to a genus besides Bacillus.^[1]
