Bacillus bogoriensis sp nov., a novel alkallphilic, halotolerant bacterium isolated from a Kenyan soda lake
(2005) In International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 55(2). p.899-902- Abstract
- Strain LBB3(T) isolated from Bogoria soda lake in Kenya is an alkaliphilic, Gram-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, spore-forming bacterium. It was identified as a member of the genus Bacillus on the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses. The organism grows optimally at 37 degrees C and pH 10. The G+C content of the genomic DNA is 37.5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed 95 and 96% sequence similarity with Bacillus pseudofirmus (DSM 8715(T)) and Bacillus alcalophilus (DSM 485(T)), respectively. Furthermore, DNA-DNA hybridization against these two Bacillus species showed 39.0 and 55.5% similarity, respectively. Based on our observations, strain LBB3(T) is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for... (More)

The type strain of B. bogoriensis is LBB3(T) (= ATCC BAA-922(T) = LMG 22234(T)). (Less)
