Synonym:
Bacillus halmapalus  Nielsen, Fritze and Priest 1995.
Description is based on two isolates.
Gram-positive rods, 0.5-1.0 x 3.0-4.0 µm, forming paracentrally to subterminally,
ellipsoidal endospores in unswollen sporangia. Motile.
Colonies are small, shiny, and creamy-white with entire margins. Growth occurs at
temperature 10-45 ºC (optimum 30-35 ºC), at  pH 7-11(optimum pH 8) and at 0-6%
NaCl (optimum 0-2% NaCl). Alkalitolerant. Allantoin, urate and NaCl are not required
for growth. No growth in nutrient broth with 2-10% NaCl added. No growth on TSA.
Aerobic.
Isolated from soil.
Unknown.

Positive results for caseinase, catalase, aesculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, beta-galactosidase (weak), hippurate hydrolysis, oxidase
and starch hydrolysis.
Can assimilate: D-glucose (weak), D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and maltose.

Negative results for arginine dihydrolase,  indole production, deamination of phenylalanine, nitrate reduction, hydrolysis of Tweens
20, 40, 60 and 80, urease, acid production from glucose.
No assimilation of capric acid, L-arabinose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid.
