This organism was aerobic and catalase- and oxidase-positive. It had an optimum growth temperature of about 35 °C and an optimum growth pH of about 8.0–8.5, and grew in medium with 0–9 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was of the A1α type, with l-lysine as the diagnostic diamino acid. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (45.4 %), iso-C15 : 0 (22.0 %) and anteiso-C17 : 0 (11.2 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was about 39.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain P9T was most closely related to Jeotgalibacillus campisalis DSM 18983T (96.8 %) and Jeotgalibacillus marinus DSM 1297T (96.5 %). These two recognized species formed a coherent cluster with strain P9T that was supported by a bootstrap value of 99 %. On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain P9T ( = DSM 23228T = LMG 25523T) represents a novel species of the genus Jeotgalibacillus, for which the name Jeotgalibacillus soli sp. nov. is proposed.", }
