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 A1γ) 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)). date: 2014-12 date_type: published publication: International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology volume: 64 number: Pt 12 publisher: Society for General Microbiology pagerange: 4098-102 refereed: TRUE issn: 1466-5034 official_url: http://ijs.sgmjournals.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.068924-0#tab2 citation: Sonalkar, Vidya V and Mawlankar, Rahul and Krishnamurthi, S and Tang, Shan-Kun and Dastager, Syed G (2014) Domibacillus enclensis sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment, and emended description of the genus Domibacillus.
