Abstract Two novel ­(14BT and 7B) Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, motile and endospore-forming bacterial strains were isolated from Lonar soda lake, India. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains 1­4BT and 7B were identified as belonging to the class Firmibacteria and were most closely related to Bacillus halodurans LMG ­7121T (99.7 and 99.8%, respectively), Bacillus okuhidensis LMG 2­ 2468T (99.1 and 99.2%, respectively) and other members in the genus Bacillus (
