A number of Bacillus strains isolated from desert soil samples were shown to belong to a previously unidentified species, for which we propose the name Bacillus mojavensis. The type strain is RO-H-1 (= NRRL B-14698). On the basis of restriction digest data, B. mojavensis is most closely related to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus atrophaeus, and Bacillus subtilis. So far, B. mojavensis can be distinguished from B. subtilis only by differences in whole-cell fatty acid composition, divergence…

Bacillus vallismortis sp. nov., a close relative of Bacillus subtilis, isolated from soil in Death Valley, California.
TLDR
Five Bacillus strains isolated from Death Valley soil were shown to belong to a previously unidentified species, for which the name Bacillus vallismortis is proposed, most closely related to Bacillus subtilis.
Bacillus sonorensis sp. nov., a close relative of Bacillus licheniformis, isolated from soil in the Sonoran Desert, Arizona.
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…
Phylogeny and molecular taxonomy of the Bacillus subtilis species complex and description of Bacillus subtilis subsp. inaquosorum subsp. nov.
TLDR
Results of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry analyses revealed that a previously unknown group of strains closely related to, but distinct from, Bacillus subtilis subsp.
Bacillus tequilensis sp. nov., isolated from a 2000-year-old Mexican shaft-tomb, is closely related to Bacillus subtilis.
TLDR
Evidence from the sodA(int) sequences, whole-cell fatty acid profiles and PFGE analysis, together with results from DNA-DNA hybridization studies, justify the classification of strain 10b(T) as representing a distinct species, for which the name Bacillus tequilensis sp.
Identification and molecular characterization of a novel Bacillus strain capable of degrading Tween-80.
TLDR
Based on the alignment of 16S rRNA sequences and analysis of SASP-B relatedness, it has been demonstrated that the novel marine B. subtilis strain N10 is more closely related to the W23 reference strain W23 than to 168.
Bacillus velezensis sp. nov., a surfactant-producing bacterium isolated from the river Vélez in Málaga, southern Spain.
TLDR
Two Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterial strains, CR-502T and CR-14b, which produce surfactant molecules are described and it is proposed that these strains be classified as a novel species of the genus Bacillus, with the name Bacillus velezensis sp.

Characterization of Bacillus strains of marine origin.
TLDR
A total of twenty aerobic endospore-forming bacilli, isolated from marine invertebrates and sea water of different areas of the Pacific Ocean, were taxonomically characterized, according to their phenotypic characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and fatty acids patterns.
Bacillus panaciterrae sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field.
TLDR
On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 1517(T) represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus panaciterrae sp.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Relatedness of Lactose-Positive Bacillus subtilis Strains and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
TLDR
It is indicated that lactose fermentation and gluconate utilization are characteristics that can differentiate between B. subtilis and B. amyloliquefaciens.
Taxonomic relationship of black-pigmented Bacillus subtilis strains and a proposal for Bacillus atrophaeus sp. nov.
TLDR
The results strongly suggest that group 2 is a pigmented variant of B. subtilis, but group 1 is a new species, for which the name Bacillus atrophaeus is proposed.
Intergenotic Transformation of the Bacillus subtilis Genospecies
TLDR
A multiple auxotrophic derivative of Bacillus subtilis 168 (strain BR151 carrying lys-3, trpC2, metB10) was transformed with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolated from B. subtil is 168 to prepare donor DNA, and adverse side effects can occur after incorporation of a segment of foreign DNA.
The effect of DNA sequence divergence on sexual isolation in Bacillus.
TLDR
The extent of sexual isolation at locus rpoB was closely predicted, over three orders of magnitude, as a log-linear function of sequence divergence at that locus.
Interspecies transformation in Bacillus: sequence heterology as the major barrier
TLDR
Results show that sequence heterology is the major barrier to interspecies transformation and that, in this system, enzymatic restriction does not prevent inter species transformation.
Phylogenetic heterogeneity of the genus Bacillus revealed by comparative analysis of small‐subunit‐ribosomal RNA sequences
TLDR
It is evident that the genus Bacillus in genetically extremely heterogeneous and requires extensive taxonomic revision and the rRNA structures defined in the present study will provide a firm basis for the division of Bacillus into several phylogenetically distinct genera.
Taxonomy of Bacillus circulans Jordan 1890: Base Composition and Reassociation of Deoxyribonucleic Acid
TLDR
The results strongly suggested that most of the strains were misclassified as B. circulans, and the phenotypic heterogeneity of the species B.circulans was not due to inherent variability of genetically related strains, but to variability introduced by inclusion of genetically unrelated organisms.
Molecular fate of heterologous bacterial DNA in competent Bacillus subtilis. I. Processing of B. pumilus and B. licheniformis DNA in B. subtilis.
TLDR
By subjecting the heterologous DRC to sonication and alkaline CsCl gradient centrifugation, it was established that the DRC consisted of three components: (1) recipient DNA in which breakdown products of donor DNA were incorporated through DNA synthesis, (2) recipient genomes in which donor DNA was covalently integrated and (3) recipientDNA in which the donor moiety was not covalent integrated.
Structure and function of the region of the replication origin of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. III. Nucleotide sequence of some 10,000 base pairs in the origin region.
TLDR
The organization of the ORFs from ORF44 to ORF638 resembles the organization of genes in the rpmH-gyrB region of the E. coli chromosome, and comparison of amino acid sequences revealed that ORF 44, ORF446, ORf378 and ORF323 are homologous with rpmH, dnaA, dnuN and recF of Escherichia coli.
