A novel Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, motile and endospore-forming novel bacterial strain 25nlgT was isolated from Lonar soda lake, in India. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it was identified as a member of Firmicutes, being most closely related to Bacillus patagoniensis PAT 05T (96.6?%) and other members in the genus Bacillus (T was catalase and oxidase-positive. The strain grows optimally at a pH of 9.5 with 4-?% (w/v) NaCl and temperature of 35-7?°C. The cell wall of the strain 25nlgT contains meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic amino acid. Polar lipids include diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unknown phospholipid (PL2), an aminophospholipid (APL2) and three unknown lipids (L2-). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. iso-C15:0 (41.7?%) was the predominant fatty acid, and significant proportions of anteiso-C15:0 (20.8?%), C12:0 (5.5?%), anteiso-C17:0 (4.9?%), iso-C17:0 (4.5?%) were also detected in the strain 25nlgT. The DNA G+C content of the strain 25nlgT was 40.5?mol%. The results of molecular, physiological and biochemical tests allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strain 25nlgT from all other members of the genus Bacillus. Strain 25nlgT represents a novel member of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus lonarensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 25nlgT (=KCTC 33413T?=?LMG 27974T?=?CGMCC?=?1.12817T).
