Bacillus iocasae sp. nov., isolated from Pacmanus hydrothermal field, Manus Basin Wang, Hai-liang and Zhang, Jian and Sun, Li,, 67, 3547-3552 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002164, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel bacterial strain S36T was isolated from the deep-sea sediment collected from Pacmanus hydrothermal field, Manus Basin. The strain was Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming, and motile. It was able to grow at 16–50 °C, pH 6.0–10.0, and in the presence of 0–11 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain S36T was a member of genus Bacillus and shares the highest sequence identity with Bacillus herbersteinensis D-1,5aT (97.0 %). The value of DNA–DNA hybridization between strain S36T and B. herbersteinensis D-1,5aT was 22.8 %. The cell wall diagnostic diamino acid of strain S36T was meso-diaminopimelic acid and the polar lipid profile of strain S36T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant respiratory quinine was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain S36T was 43.0 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, and phenotypic characteristics, it was concluded that strain S36T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus iocasae sp. nov. was proposed. The type strain is S36T (=KCTC 33864T=DSM 104297T=CGMCC 1.16030T)., language=, type=
