Synonym: Bacillus agaradhaerens Nielsen, Fritze and Priest 1995.
Rods of 0.5-0.6/2.0-5.0 µm, subterminal, ellipsoidal endospores in swollen sporangia.
Motile.
Colonies are adherent, white, rhizoid with filamentous margins. Growth occurs at
10-45 ºC. Strictly alkaliphilic organisms; growth is observed at pH 7.0; optimal growth
is observed at pH 10.0 or higher. Require NaCl for growth (2-16% NaCl tolerance).
Aerobic growth.
Isolated from soil. Susceptible to novobiocin (30 μg), tetracycline (30 μg), penicillin G (10 IU) and kanamycin (30 μg). Resistant to
streptomycin (10 μg) and bacitracin (0.04 IU).
