Abstract
A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and spore forming bacterium strain designation B190/17, was isolated from an air monitoring sample of a Brazilian immunobiological production facility in 2017. The strain was not identifiable by biochemical methodology VITEK® 2 or by MALDI-TOF MS with VITEK® MS RUO and MALDI Biotyper®. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed 98.51% similarity with Bacillus wudalianchiensis FJAT 27215T, 98.28% with ‘Bacillus aerolatus’ CX 253T, 97.96% with Bacillus badius MTCC 1458T, 97.63% with Bacillus xiapuensis FJAT 46582T and 97.21% with Bacillus thermotolerans SGZ8T. Biochemical data showed the strain was alanine arylamidase, Ala-Phe-Pro arylamidase, ELLMAN, leucine arylamidase, phenyalanine arylamidase and tyrosine arylamidase positive. The genomic DNA G+C% content of B190/17 was 41.6 mol%. The phylogenetic, genomic taxonomy and biochemical tests suggested that B190/17 represents a novel species and should be classified as the type strain of a novel Bacillus species. The name Bacillus lumedeirus sp. nov. is proposed. After characterization, B190/17 was added to the MALDI Biotyper® database as Bacillus lumedeirus sp. nov.
