Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Anoxybacillus flavithermus Kn10 strain (NBRC 109594), isolated from a water drain of the Kan-nawa Hot Spring in Japan. The draft genome sequence is composed of 90 contigs for 2,772,624 bp with 41.6% G+C content and contains 2,883 protein-coding genes and 80 tRNA genes.

Bacillus rubiinfantis sp. nov. strain mt2(T) is the type strain of B. rubiinfantis sp. nov., isolated from the fecal flora of a child with kwashiorkor in Niger. It is Gram-positive facultative anaerobic rod belonging to the Bacillaceae family. We describe the features of this organism alongside the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4 311 083 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plas...

Neighbor-joining, maximum-parsimony, minimum-evolution, maximum-likelihood and Bayesian trees constructed based on 16S rDNA sequences of 181 type strains of Bacillus species and related taxa manifested nine phylogenetic groups. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Bacillus was not a monophyletic group. B. subtilis was in Group 1. Group 4, 6 and 8 respectively consisted of thermophiles, halophi...

Bacillus thuringiensis represents one of the six species of "Bacillus cereus group" in the genus Bacillus within the family Bacillaceae. Strain Sbt003 was isolated from soil and identified as B. thuringiensis. It harbors at least seven plasmids and produces three shapes of parasporal crystals including oval, bipyramidal and rice. SDS-PAGE analysis of spore-crystal suspension of this strain reve...

Numidum massiliense gen. nov., sp. nov., strain mt3(T) is the type strain of Numidum gen. nov., a new genus within the family Bacillaceae. This strain was isolated from the faecal flora of a Tuareg boy from Algeria. We describe this Gram-positive facultative anaerobic rod and provide its complete annotated genome sequence according to the taxonogenomics concept. Its genome is 3 755 739 bp long ...

Massilibacterium senegalense gen. nov., sp. nov., strain mt8(T), is the type strain of Massilibacterium gen. nov., a new genus within the Bacillaceae family. This Gram-negative facultative anaerobic rod was isolated from the gut microbiota of a severely malnourished boy. Its phenotypic description is hereby presented with a complete annotation of its genome sequence. This genome is 5 697 950 bp...

Lentibacillus jeotgali Grbi(T), isolated from a traditional Korean salt-fermented seafood, is a strictly aerobic, Gram-positive, nonmotile, endospore-forming, moderately halophilic bacterium belonging to the family Bacillaceae in the phylum Firmicutes. Here, the draft genome sequence of L. jeotgali Grbi(T) (3,775,822 bp with a G+C content of 42.5%) is reported. This is the first reported genome...

Bacillus anthracis is the only pathogen known to be highly infectious with potential biothreat in the family Bacillaceae. The organism in its endospore form has the potential to get aerosolized and infect large population resulting in panic and mass causality (Wilkening, 2006). Because of this reason, Center for Disease control and prevention (CDC) has listed Bacillus anthracis as category A ag...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Paper and paperboard packaging play an important role in safety and quality of food products. Common bacteria of paper and paperboard food packaging could grow due to specific conditions included humidity, temperature and major nutrition to contaminate the food. The purpose of this research was to investigate numbers and the types of bacteria in the food packaging pape...
