RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Yang, Guiqin A1 Zhou, ShunguiYR 2014 T1 Sinibacillus soli gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately thermotolerant member of the family Bacillaceae JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 64 IS Pt_5 SP 1647 OP 1653 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.055608-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Two Gram-staining-positive, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacteria that represent a single species, designated strains GD05T and GD051, were isolated from a tropical forest soil and a hot spring sediment, respectively. Cells of both strains were facultatively anaerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and could grow optimally at 50 °C, pH 8.0 and with 1 % (w/v) NaCl. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that these two isolates belonged to the family Bacillaceae , but did not show sequence similarities of more than 95 % to members of other related genera. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 43.7–44.1 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol, and the major menaquinone was MK-7. The peptidoglycan type was A1γ (meso-diaminopimelic acid direct). On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic analysis, the novel strains represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Bacillaceae , order Bacillales , for which the name Sinibacillus soli gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GD05T ( = CCTCC AB 2013105T = KCTC 33117T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.055608-0
