Five Bacillus strains isolated from Death Valley soil were shown to belong to a previously unidentified species, for which we propose the name Bacillus vallismortis. The type strain is strain DV1-F-3 (= NRRL B-14890). On the basis of previously published restriction digestion data, B. vallismortis is most closely related to Bacillus subtilis. At this time B. vallismortis can be distinguished from B. subtilis only by differences in whole-cell fatty acid compositions, DNA sequences, and levels of reassociation of genomic DNA.
从死亡谷土壤中分离出的五株芽孢杆菌菌株被证明属于一个以前未鉴定的物种,我们为此提议将其命名为死亡谷芽孢杆菌。模式菌株是DV1-F-3菌株(=NRRL B-14890)。根据先前发表的限制性消化数据,死亡谷芽孢杆菌与枯草芽孢杆菌关系最为密切。目前,死亡谷芽孢杆菌只能通过全细胞脂肪酸组成、DNA序列以及基因组DNA重缔合水平的差异与枯草芽孢杆菌区分开来。
