Abstract

We describe here the main characteristics of a new species isolated from Siberian permafrost dated around 10 million years. This species was named 'Bacillus massiliglaciei' strain Marseille-P2600T (= CSUR P2600 = DSM 102861).

Keywords: Bacillus massiliglaciei; culturomics; emerging bacterium; permafrost; taxonomy.

Phylogenetic tree showing position of ‘Bacillus massiliglaciei’ strain Marseille-P3600T relative to other phylogenetically close neighbours. Sequences were aligned using CLUSTALW, and phylogenetic inferences were obtained using maximum-likelihood method within MEGA software. Numbers at nodes are percentages of bootstrap values obtained by repeating analysis 500 times to generate majority consensus tree. Only bootstrap scores of at least 90 were retained.
