Bacillus urbisdiaboli sp. nov., isolated from soil sampled in Xinjiang Liu, Bo and Liu, Guo-Hong and Wang, Xiao-Ying and Wang, Jie-Ping and Chen, Zheng and Chen, Mei-Chun and Zhang, Hai-Feng and Singonca, Cetin,, 69, 1591-1596 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003363, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A rod-shaped, endospore-forming, facultative anaerobic bacterium, designated FJAT-45385T, was isolated from soil collected from Devil City in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in China. Growth was observed at 20–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 7.0–11.0 (pH 9.0) and in 0–10.0 % NaCl (4 %), respectively. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The main fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (37.4 %), iso-C15 : 0 (15.1 %) and C16 : 0 (12.6 %). The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences affiliated strain FJAT-45385T to the genus Bacillus , and showed the highest sequence similarity to Bacillus wakoensis DSM 2521T (96.0 %). The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain FJAT-45385T and its closest related species were 67.8 and 35.5 %, respectively, which were much lower than the thresholds commonly used to define species (96 and 70 %, respectively) indicating that it belong to a different taxon. The DNA G+C content was 38.1 mol%. The phenotypic characters and taxono-genomics study revealed that strain FJAT-45385T represents a novel Bacillus species, for which the name Bacillus urbisdiaboli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FJAT-45385T (=DSM 104651T=CCTCC AB 2016263T)., language=, type=
