A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium, designated NE201T , was isolated from a freshwater pond in Village Nerur, India. Growth was observed in the range of 15-45 °C temperature with optimum at 30 °C, pH range of 5-9 (optimum at 7.0), and at concentrations of NaCl ranging between 0 and 14% (optimum 0%, w/v). The 16S rRNA gene sequence showed the highest similarity with Fictibacillus enclensis NIO-1003T (JF893461) at 99.01% followed by F. rigui WPCB074T (EU939689) at 98...
