Halobacillus campisalis sp. nov., containing meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and emended description of the genus Halobacillus
A Gram-positive or variable, motile and coccoid or oval-shaped bacterial strain, ASL-17T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea in Korea and its exact taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Strain ASL-17T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 37 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ASL-17T is most closely affiliated phylogenetically to the genus Halobacillus. Strain ASL-17T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.7–98.6 % to the type strains of recognized Halobacillus species. Interestingly, strain ASL-17T had cell-wall peptidoglycan based on meso-diaminopimelic acid, unlike other Halobacillus species. It contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 42.1 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties demonstrated that strain ASL-17T can be differentiated from recognized Halobacillus species. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain ASL-17T represents a novel species of the genus Halobacillus, for which the name Halobacillus campisalis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ASL-17T (=KCTC 13144T =CCUG 54360T).
