Since ten years twenty six Lysinibacillus species were discovered with several exciting characteristics.

To delineate its taxonomic position, the strain was subject to polyphasic characterization. Cells of the strain NCCP-54T can grow at 10-45○C (optimum at 28○C) at pH ranges of 6.5-9.0 (optimum at pH 7.0) and in 0-6% NaCl (w/v) in tryptic soya agar medium. It can also tolerate 150 mM boric acid in agar medium; however, optimum growth occurs in the absence of boric acid. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain NCCP-54T showed highest similarity to Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus KCTC13423T (99.1%), Lysinibacillus fusiformis KCTC3454T (98.5%), Lysinibacillus boronitolerans KCTC13709T (98.4%), Lysinibacillus parviboronicapiens KCTC13154T (97.8%), and Lysinibacillus sphaericus KCTC3346T (97.5%) and less than 97% with other closely related taxa.

Isolates were sampled from different locations on the fronts of A. cerana hives in Vietnam. A total of 69 isolates were obtained through a culture-dependent method and 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed affiliation to the phyla Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Out of 69 isolates, 15 showed strong inhibitory activity against P.

The study sites were composed of a control forest area without fire damage, a lightly- burned forest area, and a heavily-burned forest area. DGGE band patterns showed that there were many common bac- terial taxa across the areas although the vegetation is not the same. In addition, it was indicated that a change of vegeta- tion in burned areas brought the change in bacterial community structure during 2001–2002. It was also indicated that, depending on a perspective, community structure of soil bacteria in post-fire non-climax forest several years after fire can be more heterogeneous compared with that in unburned climax forest.

Abstract Background Bacillus strains producing highly resistant spores have been isolated from cleanrooms and space craft assembly facilities. Organisms that can survive such conditions merit planetary protection concern and if that resistance can be transferred to other organisms, a health concern too. To further efforts to understand these resistances, the complete genome of Bacillus safensis strain FO-36b, which produces spore resistant to peroxide and radiation was determined.

The three Bacillus species isolated from petroleum refinery waste were exam- ined for antifungal activity on brewery effluents and molasses for biotechnological appli- cations. Bacillus strains were identified by three different methods: 16S rRNA gene se- quences, BIOLOG system and fatty acid analysis (FAME). The results demonstrated the ability of all three Bacillus strains cultured on brewery effluents and molasses to inhibit mycelial growth of the 10 tested fungi to varying degrees measured by agar plate inhibi- tion assays. Fungi inhibited to the greatest degree as measured by the zones of inhibition were Botrytis cinerea A 258, Phomopsis viticola W 977, Septoria carvi K 2082, Colleto- trichum gloeosporioides A 259, Phoma complanata A 233 and Phoma exigua var. exigua A 175. It was also observed that the fungal mycelial growth was inhibited by the cell-free supernatants, indicating lipoprotein-like activity of antifungal agents (mainly biosurfac- tants). Tested fungi were most sensitive to the Bacilli supernatants obtained from the mo- lasses cultures including: B. cinerea A 258, R. solani W 70, S. sclerotiorum K 2291, Phomopsis diachenii K 657, C.
