Abstract
In the present study, the taxonomic position of Bacillus yapensis was evaluated using phylogenetic, amino acid identity (AAI) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values. In the phylogenetic tree, Bacillus yapensis clustered with Robertmurraya species. The AAI value between Bacillus yapensis XXST-01T and Robertmurraya species was above the cut-off level (65%) for genus delineation. The ANI value between Bacillus yapensis XXST-01T and Robertmurraya species was below the threshold value (95-96%) for bacterial species delineation. Based on the results, we propose to transfer Bacillus yapensis to the genus Robertmurraya as Robertmurraya yapensis comb. nov. The type strain is XXST-01T (= MCCC 1A14143T = JCM 33181T).
