Strain JSM 100118T was able to grow with 0–13 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2–5 %), at pH 5.5–10.0 (optimum pH 7.5) and at 5–50 6C (optimum 30–35 6C). The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0,C16 : 0 and C16 : 1v11c. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown glycolipid and an unknown phospholipid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 35.9 mol%.

    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2015), 00, 1–7 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.000794 Bacillus cavernae sp. nov. isolated from cave soil Liling Feng, Dongmei Liu, Xuelian Sun, Gejiao Wang3 and Mingshun Li3 Correspondence National Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, College of Life Science and Technology, Gejiao Wang Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, 430070, PR China [email protected] A Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, motile, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain L5T, was isolated from soil of Tenglong cave, China. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain L5T was related most closely to Bacillus asahii MA001T (96.5 %) (the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Bacillus kribbensis BT080T (96.4 %) and Bacillus deserti ZLD-8T (96.2 %). The DNA G+C content of strain L5T was 45.6 mol%. The major menaquinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were iso-C14 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. In addition, strain L5T had different characteristics compared with the other Bacillus strains such as pink colony colour, low growth temperature and low nutrient requirement. The results indicate that strain L5T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus cavernae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L5T (5KCTC 33637T5CCTCC AB 2015055T). The genus Bacillus belongs to the family Bacillaceae,order (Claus & Berkeley, 1986; Holt et al., 1994; Rheims et al., Bacillales,phylumFirmicutes, and was first proposed by 1999; Yumoto et al., 2004; Lim et al., 2007; Zhang et al., Cohn (1872) with Bacillus subtilis as the type species.

Accepted 29 December, 2011 To study the biodiversity of halophilic bacteria in a protected wetland located in Loukkos (Northwest, Morocco), a total of 124 strains were recovered from sediment samples from a marsh and salterns. 120 isolates (98%) were found to be moderately halophilic bacteria; growing in salt ranges of 0.5 to 20%. Of 124 isolates, 102 were Gram-positive while 22 were Gram negative. All isolates were identified based on 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis and characterized phenotypically and by screening for extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. The Gram-positive isolates were dominated by the genus Bacillus (89%) and the others were assigned to Jeotgalibacillus, Planococcus, Staphylococcus and Thalassobacillus.

Abstract: The accumulation of metals in natural environments is a growing concern of modern societies since they constitute persistent, non-degradable contaminants. Microorganisms are involved in redox processes and participate to the biogeochemical cycling of metals. Some endospore-forming Firmicutes (EFF) are known to oxidize and reduce specific metals and have been isolated from metal-contaminated sites. However, whether EFF isolated from uncontaminated sites have the same capabilities has not been thoroughly studied. In this study, we measured manganese oxidation and copper resistance of aerobic EFF from uncontaminated sites. For the purposes of this study we have sampled 22 natural habitats and isolated 109 EFF strains.

Abstract Genus Xanthomonas encompasses specialized group of phytopathogenic bacteria with genera Xylella, Stenotrophomonas and Pseudoxanthomonas being its closest relatives. While species of genera Xanthomonas and Xylella are known as serious phytopathogens, members of other two genera are found in diverse habitats with metabolic versatility of biotechnological importance. Few species of Stenotrophomonas are multidrug resistant opportunistic nosocomial pathogens. In the present study, we report genomic resource of genus Pseudoxanthomonas and further in-depth comparative studies with publically available genome resources of other three genera.
