Abstract

In the present study, seven reference Bacillus species and a total of eighteen new facultative alkaliphilic Bacil-lus strains, isolated from the water of Lake Van and its soil surroundings, were identified using phenotypic charac-teristics and the numerical analysis of whole-cell protein profiles. According to morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics, it was found that the new isolated strains belonged to Bacillus genus. In addition, the research indicated that SDS-PAGE of polypeptides of whole-cell extracts can provide more valuable taxonomic information than conventional tests based on the pheno-typic characteristics at the species and subspecies levels. Numerical analysis of whole-cell protein profiles of test strains...
