Old synonym:
Bacillus oryzaecorticis Hong et al. 2014.
Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.3-0.5 x 1.5-2.5 µm, motile by means of peritrichous flagella.
Produce subterminal, spherical or ellipsoidal endospores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies on TSA at 37 ºC are orange and slightly raised. Growth occurs at 15-45 ºC
(optimum 37 ºC), at pH 4.5-10.0 (optimum pH 6.0-7.0),  and in the presence of 0-9%
(w/v) NaCl. Aerobic; no anaerobic growth.
Isolated from rice husks from the Republic of Korea.
Susceptible to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamicin, neomycin, penicillin G, streptomycin, tetracycline and vancomycin.
Unknown.
