Bacillus frigoritolerans-DSM 8801T (97.38?%). The menaquinone was identified as MK-7, the major cellular fatty acid was identified as anteiso-C15:0 and the major cellular polar lipids as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and three unknown polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was determined to be 40.2?mol%. The DNA–DNA relatedness with the closest relatives was below 48?%. Therefore, on the basis of all the results, strain GSS03T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus huizhouensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GSS03T (=KCTC 33172T =CCTCC AB 2013237T)." />
