taxonomic description and genome sequence of bacillus campisalis sp. nov., a member of the genus bacillus isolated from a solar saltern.	the taxonomic position of a gram-stain positive bacterium isolated from a solar saltern sample collected from kanyakumari, coastal region of the bay of bengal, india, was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. the isolated strain, designated sa2-6t, had phenotypic characteristics that matched those of the genus bacillus. the 16s rrna gene sequence (1493 bases) of the novel strain was compared with those of previously studied bacillus type strains and confirmed that the strain belongs to the ge ...	2015	26296567
genome sequence of the boron-tolerant and -requiring bacterium bacillus boroniphilus.	bacillus boroniphilus is a highly boron-tolerant bacterium that also requires this element for its growth. the complete genome sequence of b. boroniphilus was determined by a combination of shotgun sequencing and paired-end sequencing using 454 pyrosequencing technology. a total of 84,872,624 reads from shotgun sequencing and a total of 194,092,510 reads from paired-end sequencing were assembled using newbler 2.3. the estimated size of the draft genome is 5.2 mb.	2014	24385571
in vivo evolutionary engineering of a boron-resistant bacterium: bacillus boroniphilus.	boron is an industrially and biologically important element. however, the mechanisms of boron tolerance and its transport in bacteria and many other living systems are still not clearly understood. in this study, the boron resistance level of a boron-tolerant bacterium, bacillus boroniphilus dsm 17376, was improved up to 300 mmol l(-1) boron, by employing an in vivo evolutionary engineering strategy based on batch selection under continuous exposure to gradually increasing boron stress levels. t ...	2011	21279440
isolation of heterotrophic bacteria from palk bay sediments showing heavy metal tolerance and antibiotic production.	analysis of culturable and unculturable bacteria and their potential bioactive compounds from palk bay is yet to be explored. the present study for the first time characterizes the culturable bacteria from palk bay sediment using 16s rrna gene sequencing. the characterized bacteria were also screened for antibacterial activity against human and aquaculture pathogens. in the 16s rrna gene sequence analysis characterized that most of the bacteria were affiliated to members of firmicutes and less w ...	2010	20015629
a novel highly boron tolerant bacterium, bacillus boroniphilus sp. nov., isolated from soil, that requires boron for its growth.	three strains of gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped and boron (b)-tolerant bacterium were isolated from naturally b containing soil of hisarcik area in the kutahya province, turkey. the strains, designated as t-14a, t-15z(t) and t-17s, produced spherical or ellipsoidal endospores in a terminal bulging sporangium. the strains required b for the growth and can tolerate more than 450 mm b. these also tolerated up to 7.0% (w/v) nacl in the presence of 50 mm b in agar medium but grew optimally without ...	2007	17072687
