Abstract

We report the main characteristics of 'Bacillus dakarensis' P3515^T sp. nov., 'Bacillus sinesaloumensis' P3516^T sp. nov., 'Gracilibacillus timonensis' P2481^T sp. nov., 'Halobacillus massiliensis' P3554^T sp. nov., 'Lentibacillus massiliensis' P3089^T sp. nov., 'Oceanobacillus senegalensis' P3587^T sp. nov., 'Oceanobacillus timonensis' P3532^T sp. nov., 'Virgibacillus dakarensis' P3469^T sp. nov. and 'Virgibacillus marseillensis' P3610^T sp. nov., that were isolated in 2016 from salty stool samples (≥1.7% NaCl) from healthy Senegalese living at Dielmo and N'diop, two villages in Senegal.
