A new rod-shaped endospore-forming bacterium is described, which was isolated from the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes santonensis (Feytaud). The isolate stains Gram negative and its DNA has a guanine-plus-cytosine content of 35 mol%. Despite the Gram-staining reaction, both biochemical and physiological features place the isolate in the genus Bacillus and indicate a phenotypic resemblance to the Bacillus firmus-lentus group of species. On the basis of comparative 16S rRNA analysis and some phenotypic features the isolate clearly represents a new species for which the name Bacillus oleronius is proposed. The type strain is Bacillus oleronius Rt 10 (DSM 9356).
描述了一种新的形成杆状内生孢子的细菌,它是从桑氏散白蚁(Reticulitermes santonensis (Feytaud))的后肠中分离出来的。该分离株革兰氏染色呈阴性,其DNA的鸟嘌呤加胞嘧啶含量为35摩尔%。尽管有革兰氏染色反应,但生化和生理特征都表明该分离株属于芽孢杆菌属,并且在表型上与芽孢杆菌属的坚强芽孢杆菌-迟缓芽孢杆菌组的物种相似。基于16S rRNA的比较分析和一些表型特征,该分离株显然代表了一个新物种,为此提出了“奥莱龙芽孢杆菌(Bacillus oleronius)”这一名称。模式菌株是奥莱龙芽孢杆菌Rt 10(DSM 9356)。
