Two strains of strictly aerobic, moderately halophilic Gram-positive rods were isolated from fermented shrimp paste (‘ka-pi’) produced in Thailand. They produced a red pigment and grew optimally in the presence of 5–30 % NaCl. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acid was anteiso-C_{15 : 0}. Phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and two unidentified glycolipids were found to be the major polar lipid components. The DNA G+C content was 41.2–41.6 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain PN7-6^T was most closely related to Lentibacillus salarius KCTC 3911^T with 96.5 % sequence similarity. On the basis of phenotypic and molecular properties, the two isolates represent a novel species of the genus Lentibacillus, for which the name Lentibacillus kapialis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PN7-6^T (=JCM 12580^T=PCU 259^T=TISTR 1551^T).

A scanning electron micrograph of endospore-containing cells of strain PN7-6^T and a table showing strain designations, isolation sources, DNA G+C contents and levels of DNA–DNA relatedness for strains PN5-2 and PN7-6^T and related Lentibacillus species are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
