Eight Bacillus strains isolated from Sonoran Desert soil were shown to
belong to a previously unidentified species, for which the name Bacillus
sonorensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain L87-10(T) (=NRRL
B-23154(T)). On the basis of phenotypic and genetic data, B. sonorensis is
most closely related to Bacillus licheniformis. B. sonorensis can be
distinguished from B. licheniformis by salt tolerance, pigmentation,
multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, reassociation of genomic DNA and
sequence differences in protein-coding genes and 16S rRNA. |
