Abstract
An unidentified Gram-negative-staining, aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium was isolated from a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. Based on comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic characteristics, the novel isolate was included in the Bacillus sphaericus-like group. The isolate was closely related to Bacillus odysseyi and Bacillus silvestris, with 96.2 and 94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. The major fatty acid was iso-C(15 : 0) (48 %). The name Bacillus massiliensis sp. nov. is proposed for the novel isolate, with strain 4400831(T) (=CIP 108446(T)=CCUG 49529(T)) as the type strain.Entities:
