Cells were Gram-reaction-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming and motile with flagella. The strain was aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, optimum growth temperature and pH were 30–37 °C and 6.0–7.5, respectively. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain DCY53T was shown to belong to the genus Bacillus and the closest phylogenetic relatives were Bacillus pocheonensis KCTC 13943T (98.3 %), Bacillus bataviensis LMG 21833T (98.0 %), Bacillus soli LMG 21838T (97.9 %), Bacillus drentensis LMG 21831T (97.8 %), Bacillus niacini DSM 2923T (97.8 %), Bacillus novalis LMG 21837T (97.7 %), Bacillus vireti LMG 21834T (97.6 %) and Bacillus fumarioli LMG 17489T (97.3 %). The DNA G+C content was 43.6 mol% and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were iso-C14 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA–DNA relatedness with closest relatives was below 55 %. The results of the genotypic analysis in combination with chemotaxonomic and physiological data demonstrated that DCY53T represented a novel species within the genus Bacillus , for which we propose the name Bacillus ginsengisoli. The type strain is DCY53T ( = KCTC 13945T = JCM 17335T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.031740-0
