One of the spore-formers isolated from a spacecraft-assembly facility, belonging to the genus Bacillus, is described on the basis of phenotypic characterization, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization studies. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped eubacterium that produces endospores. The spores of this novel bacterial species exhibited resistance to UV, gamma-radiation, H2O2 and desiccation. The 18S rDNA sequence analysis revealed a clear affiliation between this strain and members of the low G+C Firmicutes. High 16S rDNA sequence similarity values were found with members of the genus Bacillus and this was supported by fatty acid profiles. The 16S rDNA sequence similarity between strain FO-92T and Bacillus benzoevorans DSM 5391T was very high. However, molecular characterizations employing small-subunit 16S rDNA sequences were at the limits of resolution for the differentiation of species in this genus, but DNA-DNA hybridization data support the proposal of FO-92T as Bacillus nealsonii sp. nov. (type strain is FO-92T =ATCC BAAM-519T =DSM 15077T).
基于表型特征、16S rDNA序列分析和DNA-DNA杂交研究，对从航天器组装设施中分离出的一种芽孢形成菌（属于芽孢杆菌属）进行了描述。它是一种革兰氏阳性、兼性厌氧、杆状的真细菌，可产生内生孢子。这种新细菌物种的孢子对紫外线、γ辐射、H2O2和干燥具有抗性。18S rDNA序列分析表明该菌株与低G+C革兰氏阳性菌成员之间存在明确的亲缘关系。发现该菌株与芽孢杆菌属成员具有较高的16S rDNA序列相似性值，脂肪酸谱也支持这一点。菌株FO-92T与食苯芽孢杆菌DSM 5391T之间的16S rDNA序列相似性非常高。然而，利用小亚基16S rDNA序列进行的分子特征分析在该属物种分化的分辨率极限上，但是DNA-DNA杂交数据支持将FO-92T鉴定为尼尔森芽孢杆菌新种（模式菌株为FO-92T =ATCC BAAM-519T =DSM 15077T）。
