Three moderately halophilic, spore-forming strains, designated BH030062T, BH030049 and BH030080, were isolated from a solar saltern in Korea. Phylogenetic analyses and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies revealed that the isolates represent a novel distinct monophyletic lineage within the phyletic group classically defined as the genus Bacillus and are most closely related to members of the genera Gracilibacillus (93·7–95·1 % similarity), Virgibacillus (93·5–94·8 %), Halobacillus (94·8–95·9 %), Filobacillus (94·4–94·8 %) and Lentibacillus (93·3–93·7 %). Strain BH030062T was strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and motile by means of peritrichous flagella. It grew in the presence of 1–15 % (w/v) NaCl and at temperatures of 15–45 °C. The cell wall peptidoglycan contained A1{gamma}-meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. DNA G+C content was about 41 mol% and the major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. On the basis of their physiological and molecular properties, the isolates represent a new genus, Pontibacillus gen. nov., and novel species, Pontibacillus chungwhensis sp. nov. The type strain is BH030062T (=KCTC 3890T=DSM 16287T).

Abbreviations: DAP, diaminopimelic acid

Published online ahead of print on 30 July 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63315-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains BH030062T, BH030049 and BH030080 are AY553296, AY603361 and AY603362, respectively.

A transmission electron micrograph showing the general morphology of strain BH030062T is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
