Following the transfer of three of the six species enclosed in the original definition of rRNA group 2 of Bacillus to the genus Sporosarcina and two to Lysinibacillus, other species of this group, some of which were added later, still await taxonomic revision. In a recent publication, a set of 'core' characteristics was proposed for species to be included in the genus Bacillus (Kämpfer et al., 2006). Except for Bacillus silvestris, however, several or none of these properties are available for members of rRNA group 2. According to our analysis of data including the 'core' characteristics, Bacillus silvestris should not be a member of the genus Bacillus. We therefore propose the establishment of a new genus, Solibacillus gen. nov., and transfer Bacillus silvestris to this genus as Solibacillus silvestris comb. nov., with the type strain HR3-23(T) (=DSM 12223(T)=ATCC BAA-269(T)=CIP 106059(T)).
在芽孢杆菌属rRNA第2组原始定义中包含的6个物种中的3个被转移到孢芽孢杆菌属，2个被转移到赖氨酸芽孢杆菌属之后，该组中的其他物种，其中一些是后来添加的，仍有待进行分类修订。在最近的一篇出版物中，有人提出了一组芽孢杆菌属物种应具备的“核心”特征（坎普费尔等人，2006年）。然而，除了西尔维斯特芽孢杆菌外，rRNA第2组的成员具备这些特性中的几个或一个都不具备。根据我们对包括“核心”特征在内的数据的分析，西尔维斯特芽孢杆菌不应属于芽孢杆菌属。因此，我们建议建立一个新属，即独芽孢杆菌属（Solibacillus gen. nov.），并将西尔维斯特芽孢杆菌转移到该属，命名为西尔维斯特独芽孢杆菌（Solibacillus silvestris comb. nov.），模式菌株为HR3-23(T)（=DSM 12223(T)=ATCC BAA-269(T)=CIP 106059(T)）。
