Microbial growths causing discoloration on the Roman wall paintings of the Servilia tomb at the necropolis of Carmona (Spain) and the medieval wall paintings of the Saint-Catherine chapel at Castle Herberstein (Austria) were investigated and from four different samples, a group of ten strains with similar characteristics was isolated. The isolates were characterized in a polyphasic taxonomic study, including 16S rDNA sequence analysis, (GTG)5-PCR genomic fingerprinting, DNA–DNA hybridization, DNA base ratio, fatty acid analysis, morphological and biochemical characterization. The data obtained attribute the isolates to a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus decolorationis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain LMG 19507T (=DSM 14890T).
The EMBL accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Bacillus decolorationis strains LMG 19507T (almost complete) and LMG 21001 (partial) are AJ315075 and AJ316304.
A 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic tree showing the position of B. decolorationis sp. nov. in relation to closely related species, B. subtilis and the type species of related genera is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online (http://ijs.sgmjournals.org).
