Old synonym: Bacillus bataviensis  Heyman, Vanparys, Logan, Balcaen, Rodriguez-Diaz, Felske and De Vos 2004.
Gram-variable or Gram-positive rods, 0.7-1.2 µm in diameter, motile , centrally /
paracentrally / subterminally,  ellipsoidal / spherical endospores in slightly swollen
sporangia.
Colonies on TSA are cream-colored, produce a soft-brown pigment that diffuse in
agar, slightly raised, smooth or rough, eggshell-textured surfaces. Facultatively
anaerobic.
Growth is observed at pH 5 to 10 (optimally at pH 7); temperature range 30-55 ºC
(optimally at 30 ºC). NaCl, allantoin or urate are not required for growth.
Isolated from soil in the Drentse agricultural research area, The Netherlands.
Unknown.
