Abstract

We present a brief description of "Bacillus mediterraneensis" strain Marseille-P2366(T) (= CSUR P2366 = DSM 102091), a new species isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a healthy 13-month-old boy from Senegal.

Keywords: Bacillus mediterraneensis; culturomics; emerging bacterium; gut microbiota; taxonomy.

Phylogenetic tree showing position of “Bacillus mediterraneensis” strain Marseille-P2366T relative to other phylogenetically close neighbours. Sequences were aligned using CLUSTALW and phylogenetic inferences obtained using maximum-likelihood method within MEGA software. Number at nodes is percentage of bootstrap values obtained by repeating analysis 500 times to generate majority consensus tree. Only values ≥95% were indicated. Geobacillus thermantarcticus was used as outgroup. Scale bar indicates 1% nucleotide sequence divergence.
