A novel Lysinibacillus strain, designated KH24T , was isolated from the gut of Siganus fuscescens, a herbivorous fish, which was captured off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. Strain KH24T is a rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, and motile bacterium that forms off-white colonies. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KH24T showed the highest similarity (97.4%) with Lysinibacillus pakistanensis JCM 18776T and L. irui IRB4-01T . Genomic similarities between strain KH24T and Lysinibacillus type strains, based on average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization (genome-to-genome distance calculation), and average amino acid identity were 70...
