Janibacter hoylei sp. nov., Bacillus isronensis sp. nov. and Bacillus aryabhattai sp. nov., isolated from cryotubes used for collecting air from the upper atmosphere
Three novel bacterial strains, PVAS-1<SUP>T</SUP>, B3W22<SUP>T</SUP> and B8W22<SUP>T</SUP>, were isolated from cryotubes used to collect air samples at altitudes of between 27 and 41 km. Based on phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic features, DNA-DNA hybridization with the nearest phylogenetic neighbours and phylogenetic analysis based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequences (PVAS-1<SUP>T</SUP>, 1196 nt; B3W22<SUP>T</SUP>, 1541 nt; B8W22<SUP>T</SUP>, 1533 nt), the three strains were identified as representing novel species, and the names proposed are Janibacter hoylei sp. nov. (type strain PVAS-1<SUP>T</SUP> =MTCC 8307<SUP>T</SUP> =DSM 21601<SUP>T</SUP> =CCUG 56714<SUP>T</SUP>), Bacillus isronensis sp. nov. (type strain B3W22<SUP>T</SUP> =MTCC 7902<SUP>T</SUP> =JCM 13838<SUP>T</SUP>) and Bacillus aryabhattai sp. nov. (type strain B8W22<SUP>T</SUP> =MTCC 7755<SUP>T</SUP> =JCM 13839<SUP>T</SUP>)
