Piscibacillus salipiscarius gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium from fermented fish (pla-ra) in Thailand Tanasupawat, Somboon and Namwong, Sirilak and Kudo, Takuji and Itoh, Takashi,, 57, 1413-1417 (2007), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64945-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-positive, spore-forming and moderately halophilic bacterium was isolated from fermented fish (pla-ra) in Thailand. Cells of the isolate, RBU1-1T, were strictly aerobic, motile rods and contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. Menaquinone with seven isoprene units (MK-7) was the predominant quinone. This isolate grew at 15–48 °C, pH 5–9 and in 2–30 % NaCl (optimally 10–20 %). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. Polar lipid analysis revealed the presence of phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content was 36.7 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain RBU1-1T was a member of the family Bacillaceae, and belonged to a cluster with Filobacillus and Tenuibacillus; strain RBU1-1T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.0–96.9 % to members of these two genera. Strain RBU1-1T could also be differentiated from members of the genera Filobacillus and Tenuibacillus based on certain phenotypic characteristics such as cell-wall composition, mode of flagellation and growth pH range. Therefore, strain RBU1-1T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus in the family Bacillaceae, for which the name Piscibacillus salipiscarius gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Piscibacillus salipiscarius is RBU1-1T (=JCM 13188T=PCU 270T=TISTR 1571T)., language=, type=
