Abstract

Eight bacterial strains, 18JY8-13, 18JY13-16, 18JY43-7, 18JY12-7, 18JY1-1, 18JY1-7, 18JY15-3, and 18JY7-2 assigned to the phylum Firmicutes were isolated from a variety of soil samples collected in the Jeju Island, Korea. Cells of the eight strains were Gram-positive, aerobic and showed resistant to UV-radiation. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strains 18JY8-13, 18JY13-16, 18JY43-7, 18JY12-7, 18JY1-1, 18JY1-7, 18JY15-3, and 18JY7-2 were most closely related to Bacillus paranthracis(99.9%), Bacillus paramycoides(99.6%), Bacillus australimaris(99.9%), Bacillus wiedmannii (100%), Bacillus halosaccharovorans(99.6%), Bacillus deserti(98.7%), Bacillus cereus (99.8%), and Bacillus albus(100%), respectively. This is the first report of these eight species in Korea.
