These two organisms could be differentiated by 15 physiological characteristics, including salt requirements, production of β-galactosidase, digestion of urea and esculin, fermentation of carbohydrates, and utilization of carbohydrates as sole carbon sources. Therefore, B. globisporus subsp. marinus is elevated to species rank as Bacillus marinus. The type strain of B. globisporus, strain ATCC 23301, and B. globisporus ATCC 23304 (ex “Bacillus psychrophilus” type strain) showed only 50% deoxyribonucleic acid homology, but these strains could not be differentiated phenotypically and are still considered members of the same species, B. globisporus. Deoxyribonucleic acid homology data and phenotypic properties confirmed that Bacillus aminovorans, Bacillus insolitus, B. globisporus, and B. marinus are separate species.", }
