%T Domibacillus enclensis sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment, and emended description of the genus Domibacillus.
%X A novel red-pigmented bacterial strain, designated NIO-1016(T), was isolated from a sediment sample from Chorao Island, India and was investigated by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strain was Gram-reaction-positive, strictly aerobic, motile and catalase-positive and produced spherical to slightly ellipsoidal endospores with subterminal position on swollen sporangia. The genomic DNA G+C content was 46.9 mol%. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15?:?0, anteiso-C17?:?0, iso-C15?:?0 and C16?:?0. The predominant quinones were MK-6 (89.3?%) and MK-7 (8.7?%). The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and an unidentified phospholipid. meso-Diaminopimelic acid (type A1?) was present in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and the major whole-cell sugars were glucose and ribose. The closest phylogenetic neighbours were identified as Domibacillus robiginosus DSM 25058(T) (98.0?% similarity) and Domibacillus indicus DSM 28032(T) (97.2?% similarity), other species of the genus Bacillus displayed below 96?% similarity. Phylogenetic, physiological, biochemical and morphological differences between strain NIO-1016(T) and its closest neighbours indicate that this strain represents a novel species in the genus Domibacillus in the family Bacillaceae for which the name Domibacillus enclensis sp. nov. is proposed with the type species NIO-1016(T) (?=?DSM 25145(T)?=?NCIM 5462(T)?=?CCTCC AB 2011121(T)).
