A Taxonomic Study of Bacillus sp. Isolated from Korean Salt-Fermented Anchovy
Young Min Ha, Yong-Ha Park, and Young Jae Kim
A bacterial strain producing an extracellular
ß-amylase, designated KYJ 963, was isolated from Korean salt-fermented anchovy
(anchovy-jeot). A nearly complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S ribosomal RNA from the isolate was determined.
On the basis of the results of 16S ribosomal DNA sequence, cellular fatty
acid composition, sensitivity test to antibiotics and so on, the strain KYJ 963 was
identified as the closest microbe to Bacillus
megaterium and Bacillus simplex.
