A Gram-positive, alkaliphilic bacterium, designated strain BA288T, was isolated from sandy soil. Cells were facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming rods that were motile by means of peritrichous flagella. The strain grew at 15–40 °C and pH 7.0–11.0 (optimally at 30 °C and pH 9.0–9.5) and at salinities of 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BA288T belonged to the genus Bacillus and that Bacillus herbersteinensis D-1,5aT, Bacillus humi LMG 22167T, Bacillus cohnii DSM 6307T and Bacillus litoralis SW-211T were the closest neighbours (96.2, 96.0, 96.0 and 95.9 % sequence similarity, respectively). The genomic DNA G+C content was 37.9 mol% and the predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. The peptidoglycan type was A1{gamma} (meso-diaminopimelic acid). Therefore, on the basis of phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, strain BA288T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus alkalitelluris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BA288T (=KCTC 3947T =DSM 16976T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BA288T is AY829448.

Maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences for strain BA288T and related taxa are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
