Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and data from phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain NIO-1109(T) was related to the genus Exiguobacterium. Strain NIO-1109(T) exhibited &gt;98.0% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to Exiguobacterium indicum HHS 31(T) (99.5%) and Exiguobacterium acetylicum NCIMB 9889(T) (99.1 %); the type strains of other species showed &lt;98% similarity. Levels of DNA DNA relatedness between strain NIO-1109(T) and E. acetylicum DSM 20416(T) and E indicum LMG 23471(T) were less than 70% (33.0 +/- 2.0 and 37 +/- 32%, respectively). Strain NIO-1109(T) also differed from these two closely related species in a number of phenotypic traits. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain NIO-1109(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Exiguobacterium, for which the name Exiguobacterium enclense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NIO-1109(T) (=NCIM 5457(T)= DSM 25128(T)=CCTCC AB 2011124(T)).</p>1 aDastager, Syed, Gulam1 aMawlankar, Rahul, R.1 aSonalkar, Vidya, V.1 aThorat, Meghana, N.1 aMual, Poonam1 aVerma, Ashish1 aKrishnamurthi, Srinivasan1 aTang, Shan-Kun1 aLi, Wen-Jun  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/exiguobacterium-enclense-sp-nov-isolated-sediment-002384nas a2200217   4500008004100000245026000041210006900301260000800370520143900378100001801817700001401835700001701849700002201866700002701888700002001915700002601935700002801961700002401989700003002013856012302043       2017                        eng d00aExamination into the taxonomic position of Bacillus thermotolerans Yang et al., 2013, proposal for its reclassification into a new genus and species Quasibacillus thermotolerans gen. nov., comb. nov. and reclassification of B. encimensis Dastager et al., 0 aExamination into the taxonomic position of Bacillus thermotolera  cSEP3 aTwo novel Gram-staining positive, rod-shaped, moderately halotolerant, endospore forming bacterial strains 5.5LF 38TD and 5.5LF 48TD were isolated and taxonomically characterized from a landfill in Chandigarh, India. The analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences of the strains confirmed their closest identity to Bacillus thermotolerans SgZ-8T with 99.9% sequence similarity. A comparative phylogenetic analysis of strains 5.5LF 38TD, 5.5LF 48TD and B. thermotolerans SgZ-8(T) confirmed their separation into a novel genus with B. badius and genus Domibacillus as the closest phylogenetic relatives. The major fatty acids of the strains are iso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0 and MK-7 is the only quinone. The major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) and ortho average nucleotide identity (ANI) values calculated through whole genome sequences indicated that the three strains showed low relatedness with their phylogenetic neighbours. Based on evidences from phylogenomic analyses and polyphasic taxonomic characterization we propose reclassification of the species B. thermotolerans into a novel genus named Quasibacillus thermotolerans gen. nov., comb. nov with the type strain SgZ-8(T) (=CCTCC AB2012108(T)=KACC 16706(T)). Further our analyses also revealed that B. encimensis SGD-V-25(T) is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus badius DSM 23(T).1 aVerma, Ashish1 aPal, Yash1 aKhatri, Indu1 aOjha, Anup, Kumar1 aGruber-Vodicka, Harald1 aSchumann, Peter1 aDastager, Syed, Gulam1 aSubramanian, Srikrishna1 aMayilraj, Shanmugam1 aKrishnamurthi, Srinivasan  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/examination-taxonomic-position-bacillus-thermotolerans-yang-et-al-2013-proposal-its
