| study of mural painting isolates, leading to the transfer of 'bacillus maroccanus' and 'bacillus carotarum' to bacillus simplex, emended description of bacillus simplex, re-examination of the strains previously attributed to 'bacillus macroides' and description of bacillus muralis sp. nov. | a group of 24 strains was isolated from deteriorated mural paintings situated in spain (necropolis of carmona) and germany (church of greene-kreiensen). (gtg)5-pcr genomic fingerprinting was performed on these strains to assess their genomic variability and the strains were delineated into four groups. representatives were studied by 16s rrna gene sequencing and were found to be closely related to bacillus simplex and the species 'bacillus macroides' (strain ncimb 8796) and 'bacillus maroccanus' ... | 2005 | 15653864 |

| bacillus purgationiresistans sp. nov., isolated from a drinking water treatment plant. | a bacterial strain (ds22t) isolated from a drinking water treatment plant was characterized using a polyphasic approach. strain ds22t comprised aerobic, non-motile endospore forming rods which stained gram-positive and were catalase- and oxidase- positive. growth occurred within the ranges 15-37 °c, ph 7-10 and up to 8 % (w/v) nacl, with optima at about 30 °c, ph 7-8 and 1-3 % nacl. the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone mk-7, the g+c content of the genomic dna was 36.5 mol % and the cell ... | 2011 | 21335493 |
| bacillus endoradicis sp. nov., an endophytic bacterium isolated from soybean root. | a gram-positive, aerobic, motile, rod bacterium, designated as ccbau 05776(t), was isolated from inner tissues of healthy soybean (glycine max l.) root collected from an agricultural field in the countryside of shijiazhuang city, hebei province, china. phylogenetic analysis of 16s rrna gene indicated that this strain was most related to bacillus muralis lmg 20238(t) and bacillus simplex nbrc 15720(t) with similarity of 96.5 % and 96.3 %, respectively, lower than the suggested threshold (97.0%) o ... | 2011 | 21441377 |
| quaternary ammonium biocides as antimicrobial agents protecting historical wood and brick. | quaternary ammonium compounds (qacs) are widely used in disinfection of water, surfaces and instruments as well as in textile, leather and food industries because of their relatively low toxicity, broad antimicrobial spectrum, non-volatility and chemical stability. due to these advantages, qacs are also used in restoration and can be applied on historical material. the aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of biocides based on quaternary ammonium salts and containing various excipien ... | 2016 | 26629794 |
| bacillus huizhouensis sp. nov., isolated from a paddy field soil. | a gram-stain positive, facultative aerobic bacterium, designated as strain gss03(t), was isolated from a paddy field soil. the cells were observed to be endospore forming, rod-shaped and motile with flagella. the organism was found to grow optimally at 35 °c at ph 7.0 and in the presence of 1 % nacl. the strain was classified as a novel taxon within the genus bacillus on the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses. the closest phylogenetic relatives were identified as bacillus psychrosacch ... | 2014 | 24903955 |
| bioprospecting of plant growth promoting psychrotrophic bacilli from the cold desert of north western indian himalayas. | the plant growth promoting psychrotrophic bacilli were investigated from different sites in north western indian himalayas. a total of 247 morphotypes were obtained from different soil and water samples and were grouped into 43 clusters based on 16s rdna-rflp analysis with three restriction endonucleases. sequencing of representative isolates has revealed that these 43 bacilli belonged to different species of 11 genera viz., desemzia, exiguobacterium, jeotgalicoccus, lysinibacillus, paenibacillu ... | 2016 | 26934782 |
| environmental parameters conditioning microbially induced mineralization under the experimental model conditions. | microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is one of the biomineralization types closely dependent on the parameters of the microenvironment. minerals are precipitated as a product of environmental and bacterial cell interactions, however, this system has very little control via microorganisms. the aim of research was to determine the influence of abiotic factors (ph, temperature, agitation speed of bacterial culture and calcium ion source) on the mineralization induced by arthrobacter ... | 2016 | 26894236 |
| draft genome sequence of bacillus muralis lmg 20238t (dsm 16288), a spore-forming bacterium isolated from deteriorated mural paintings. | bacillus muralis lmg 20238(t) is a gram-positive, aerobic, and spore-forming bacterium. here, we report the 5.18-mb draft genome sequence of b. muralis lmg 20238(t), which is the first genome sequence of this species and will promote its fundamental research. | 2016 | 26847897 |
| bacillus gossypii sp. nov., isolated from the stem of gossypium hirsutum. | a gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming organism, isolated from the stem of gossypium hirsutum, was studied to determine its taxonomic position. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain jm-267t was grouped in the genus bacillus, related most closely to the type strains of bacillus simplex and bacillus huizhouensis (both 97.8%), bacillus muralis (97.7%), bacillus butanolivorans and bacillus psychrosaccharolyticus (both 97.3%). 16s rrna gene s ... | 2015 | 26303844 |
