Bacillus velezensis is not a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Bacillus methylotrophicus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum and ‘Bacillus oryzicola’ are later heterotypic synonyms of Bacillus velezensis based on phylogenomics

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus velezensis, and Bacillus siamensis Form an “Operational Group B. amyloliquefaciens” within the B. subtilis Species Complex

“…Besides the “original members” B. subtilis, B. licheniformis , and B. pumilus , early described by Gordon et al (1973), many novel species belonging to the B. subtilis species complex have been described in last decades: B amyloliquefaciens (Priest et al, 1987), Bacillus atrophaeus (Nakamura, 1989), Bacillus mojavensis (Roberts et al, 1994), Bacillus vallismortis (Roberts et al, 1996), Bacillus sonorensis (Palmisano et al, 2001), Bacillus velezensis (Ruiz-García et al, 2005a), Bacillus axarquiensis (Ruiz-García et al, 2005b), Bacillus tequilensis (Gatson et al, 2006), Bacillus aerius, Bacillus aerophilus, Bacillus stratosphericus, Bacillus altitudinis (Shivaji et al, 2006), Bacillus safensis (Satomi et al, 2006), Bacillus methylotrophicus (Madhaiyan et al, 2010), Bacillus siamensis (Sumpavapol et al, 2010), Bacillus xiamenensis (Lai et al, 2014), Bacillus vanillea (Chen et al, 2014), Bacillus paralicheniformis (Dunlap C. et al, 2015), Bacillus glycinifermentas (Kim et al, 2015), Bacillus oryzicola (Chung et al, 2015), Bacillus gobiensis (Liu et al, 2016), and Bacillus nakamurai (Dunlap C. A. et al, 2016). B. vanillea, B. oryzicola , and B. methylotrophicus could not be corroborated as valid species and were identified as later heterotypic synonyms of either B. siamensis (Dunlap, 2015), or B. velezensis (Dunlap C. et al, 2016). B. subtilis has been subdivided into the three subspecies: B .…”

“…plantarum (Borriss et al, 2011), but has been recently recognized as being synonymous to Bacillus velezensis due to phylogenomic analysis (Dunlap C. et al, 2016). However, until now, majority of publications consider plant-associated close relatives of FZB42 still as “ B. amyloliquefaciens .” Here, we reinvestigated the taxonomic status of FZB42 and related strains in its context to the free-living soil bacterium DSM7 T , the type strain of B. amyloliquefaciens .…”

In Vitro Biosynthesis and Substrate Tolerance of the Plantazolicin Family of Natural Products

“…Within this broad space, the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) natural products comprise a class garnering increased attention (2). Plantazolicin (PZN) is an anti- B. anthracis RiPP produced by Bacillus velezensis (formerly Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ) FZB42 (3–6) and a member of a subclass of RiPPs termed the linear azol(in)e-containing peptides (LAPs) (7, 8). LAPs, thiopeptides, and azol(in)e-containing cyanobactins can also collectively be referred to as thiazole/oxazole-modified microcins (TOMMs) (2).…”

Biocontrol of Leaf Mustard Powdery Mildew Caused by Erysiphe cruciferarm using Bacillus velezensis YP2

“…최근 계통유전 체학을 근거로 한 Bacillus spp.의 분류연구는 근연종 Bacillus 4종, 즉 B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum, B. methylotrophicus, B. oryzicola, 및 B. velezensis를 모두 B. velezensis로 분류되어야 한다고 보고된바 있다 (Dunlap et al, 2016). 본 연구의 선발 균주인 YP2 균주는 16S rRNA 와 gyrB 유전자를 이용하여 분석한 결과 Dunlap 등의 보고 에 따라 B. velezensis로 동정되었으며, YP2균주를 배양하여 현미경상에서 세균이다 (Fig.…”
