The strain grew optimally at 30 °C, pH 7.0–7.5 and 8–12 % (w/v) NaCl. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. Phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and two unidentified glycolipids were found to be the major polar lipid components. The genomic DNA G+C content was 43.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain 8-1T was closely related to Lentibacillus salarius KCTC 3911T (98.0 % sequence similarity) and other recognized species within the genus Lentibacillus (94.5–95.9 %). The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain 8-1T and L. salarius KCTC 3911T was 40 %. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic data presented, strain 8-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Lentibacillus, for which the name Lentibacillus halodurans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 8-1T (=CGMCC 1.3702T=DSM 18342T).", }
