bacillus pocheonensis sp. nov., a moderately halotolerant, aerobic bacterium isolated from soil of a ginseng field.	a gram-positive, non-motile, endospore-forming bacterial strain, designated gsoil 420t, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in pocheon province, south korea, and was characterized, using a polyphasic approach, in order to determine its taxonomic position. the novel isolate consisted of strictly aerobic, rod-shaped cells and was able to grow in medium supplemented with up to 12% nacl at 25 degrees c and ph 6.5-7.0. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that strain gsoil 420t fe ...	2007	17978214
bacillus horneckiae sp. nov., isolated from a spacecraft-assembly clean room.	five gram-stain-positive, motile, aerobic strains were isolated from a clean room of the kennedy space center where the phoenix spacecraft was assembled. all strains are rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria, whose spores were resistant to uv radiation up to 1000 j m(-2). the spores were subterminally positioned and produced an external layer. a polyphasic taxonomic study including traditional biochemical tests, fatty acid analysis, cell-wall typing, lipid analyses, 16s rrna gene sequencing and dna ...	2010	19666815
bacillus ginsengisoli sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field.	a novel bacterial strain dcy53(t) was isolated from a soil sample from a ginseng field and was characterized using a polyphasic approach. 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 dcy53(t) was shown to belong to the genus bacillus and the closest phylogenetic rela ...	2013	22611202
bacillus mesophilum sp. nov., strain iitr-54t, a novel 4-chlorobiphenyl dechlorinating bacterium.	the taxonomic position of a gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium isolated from soil sample collected from an industrial site was analyzed by a polyphasic approach. the strain designated as iitr-54t matched most of the phenotypic and chemical characteristics of the genus bacillus and represents a novel species. it was found to biodegrade 4-chlorobiphenyl through dechlorination and was isolated through enrichment procedure from an aged polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soil. both resting ...	2014	24807729
bacillus mesophilus sp. nov., an alginate-degrading bacterium isolated from a soil sample collected from an abandoned marine solar saltern.	a novel gram-stain positive, endospore-forming bacterium, designated sa4(t), was isolated from a soil sample collected from an abandoned marine solar saltern at wendeng, shandong province, pr china. cells were observed to be rod shaped, alginase positive, catalase positive and motile. the strain was found to grow at temperatures ranging from 15 to 40 °c (optimum 35 °c), and ph 5.0-11.0 (optimum ph 8.0) with 0-7.0 % (w/v) nacl concentration (optimum nacl 3.0 %). phylogenetic analysis based on 16s ...	2016	27084709
