Abstract A novel Bacillus strain, designated SYSU ­G01002T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from tepid spring in Tengchong, Yunnan province, south-west PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strain SYSU ­G01002T shared the highest sequence identity with the type strain of Bacillus alkalitolerans (97.7%). Strain SYSU ­G01002T grew at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), at 28–55 °C (optimum, 45 °C) and in the presence of 0–2.5% (w/v) NaCl (optimum in the absence of NaCl). It contained meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid as the cell-wall diamino acid and MK-7 as isoprenoid quinone. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 and ­C16:0. The polar were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and unidentified phospholipid. The genomic DNA G + C content was 38.0 mol %. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between SYSU ­G01002T and closely related members of the genus Bacillus were below the cut-off level recommended for interspecies identity. Based on the above results, strain SYSU ­G01002T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus tepidiphilus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain, SYSU ­G01002T (= KCTC ­43131T = CGMCC 1.17491T). Keywords  Hot spring · Bacillus · Polyphasic taxonomy

Hot springs once perceived to be sterile but the discovery of Thermus aquaticus (Brock 1997) and the valuable enzyme (Taq DNA polymerase) (Chien et al. 1976) suggest this environment not only holds hidden microorganisms but also valuable products. Tengchong (Yunnan Province of China) is the hotspot for the hot springs in China whic
