Ureibacillus aquaedulcis sp. nov., isolated from freshwater well and reclassification of Lysinibacillus yapensis and Lysinibacillus antri as Ureibacillus yapensis comb. nov. and Ureibacillus antri comb. Nov.

A Gram-stain-positive aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-producing bacterium forming colonies with convex elevation and a smooth, intact margin was isolated from a freshwater sample collected from a well situated in an agricultural field. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolated strain BA0131 showed the highest sequence similarity to Lysinibacillus yapensis ylb-03 (99.25%) followed by Ureibacillus chungkukjangi 2RL3-2 (98.

Fictibacillus fluitans sp. nov., isolated from freshwater pond.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium, designated NE201, was isolated from a freshwater pond in Village Nerur, India. Growth was observed in the range of 15-45 °C temperature with optimum at 30 °C, pH range of 5-9 (optimum at 7.0), and at concentrations of NaCl ranging between 0 and 14% (optimum 0%, w/v).
