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).</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.691</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verma, Ashish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ojha, Anup Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pal, Yash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumari, Parveen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schumann, Peter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gruber-Vodicka, Harald</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dastager, Syed Gulam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natarajan, Ramesh Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mayilraj, Shanmugam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krishnamurthi, Srinivasan</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Investigation into the taxonomy of “ B. aminovorans” and its reclassification to the genus Domibacillus as Domibacillus aminovorans sp. nov.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Systematic and Applied Microbiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16S rRNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Domibacillus aminovorans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MALDI-TOF</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">``Bacillus aminovorans''</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">40 </style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">458-467</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The species &quot;Bacillus aminovorans&quot; was categorized as species Incertae Sedis meaning taxa with uncertain taxonomic position because of insufficient description of phenotypic properties and lack of understanding of its phylogenetic relationship (Claus and Berkeley [5]). In this study two strains &quot;B. aminovorans&quot; DSM 1314T and DSM 4337 were phenotypically and phylogenomically analyzed. The strains are Gram-staining-positive, spore forming rods and unable to utilize/ferment most of the sugars tested except glucose. The major fatty acids are anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0. The major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an aminophosphoglycolipid. The cell wall peptidoglycan is of A1γ type with meso-Dpm as the diamino acid. The menaquinone type present is MK-6. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the type strain is 40.8mol%. These characteristics were found to be in line with description of the genus Domibacillus. Moreover phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence retrieved &quot;B. aminovorans&quot; within the genus Domibacillus with D. antri XD 80T as the closest relative. Additionally genome sequencing of the strains and their comparison with whole genome sequences of other Domibacillus spp. confirmed their distinctiveness and separate species status within the genus based on parameters of genome to genome distance calculator (GGDC) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values. Therefore a novel species Domibacillus aminovorans sp. nov. (DSM 1314T =LMG 16796T) is proposed.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.691</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
