Abstract

Abstract: Microbial culturomics, which investigates microbial diversity by combining diversified culture conditions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rDNA identification, allowed to identify five new species within the Bacillus genus. Bacillus massiliglaciei strain Marseille-P2600 T, Bacillus mediterraneensis strain Marseille-P2384 T, Bacillus massilinigeriensis strain Marseille-P2366 T, Bacillus tuaregi strain Marseille-P2489 T and Bacillus phocaeensis strain SIT16 T are each the type strain of the corresponding bacterial species. These strains, the genomes of which are described here, are facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacilli. Here, we describe the main characteristics of each bacterium and present their complete genome sequence and annotation.
