bacillus farraginis sp. nov., bacillus fortis sp. nov. and bacillus fordii sp. nov., isolated at dairy farms.	forty-eight bacterial strains were isolated at dairy farms from raw milk, the milking apparatus, green fodder or feed concentrate after a heat treatment of 30 min at 100 degrees c. in this way, spore-forming bacteria with a very high intrinsic heat resistance were selected for. the aerobic spore-forming isolates were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomical study, including repetitive element sequence-based pcr typing, whole-cell protein profiling, 16s rdna sequence analysis, dna-dna hybridizations ...	2004	15280314
new gene cluster from the thermophile bacillus fordii mh602 in the conversion of dl-5-substituted hydantoins to l-amino acids.	the thermophile bacillus fordii mh602 was screened for stereospecifically hydrolyzing dl-5-substituted hydantoins to l-alpha-amino acids. since the reaction at higher temperature, the advantageous for enhancement of substrate solubility and for racemization of dl-5-substituted hydantoins during the conversion were achieved. the hydantoin metabolism gene cluster from thermophile was firstly reported in this paper. the genes involved in hydantoin utilization (hyu) were isolated on an 8.2 kb dna fr ...	2009	20075610
emended descriptions of bacillus sporothermodurans and bacillus oleronius with the inclusion of dairy farm isolates of both species.	bacillus sporothermodurans is an industrially important micro-organism because of its ability to produce endospores which resist ultra high temperature (uht) and industrial sterilization processes. it was described by pettersson et al. (1996) based on seven genetically homogeneous isolates all from uht-milk. bacillus oleronius, the closest phylogenetic neighbor of b. sporothermodurans, was described by kuhnigk et al. (1995), based on a single strain, isolated from the hindgut of the termite reti ...	2011	21398506
bacillus composti sp. nov. and bacillus thermophilus sp. nov., two thermophilic, fe(iii)-reducing bacteria isolated from compost.	two novel thermophilic bacteria, designated sgz-9(t) and sgz-10(t), were isolated from compost. cells of the two strains were catalase-positive, endospore-forming and gram-staining-positive rods. strain sgz-9(t) was oxidase-positive and non-motile, and strain sgz-10(t) was oxidase-negative and motile. the highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity for both strains sgz-9(t) and sgz-10(t) was observed with bacillus fortis (97.5 % and 96.9 %, respectively). phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna ge ...	2013	23396719
bacillus terrae sp. nov. isolated from cistus ladanifer rhizosphere soil.	a bacterial strain designated ra9t was isolated from a root of cistus ladanifer in spain. phylogenetic analyses based on 16s rrna gene sequence placed the isolate into the genus bacillus with its closest relatives being b. fortis r-6514t and b. fordii r-7190t with 98.2% similarity in both cases. dna-dna hybridization studies showed averages of 29 and 30%, respectively, between the strain ra9t and the type strains of b. fortis and b. fordii. the isolate was gram-stain positive, motile and sporula ...	2016	27983469
