Abstract
Strain FSQ1T was isolated from the rhizosphere of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crop sampled in a commercial field located in the Gabriel Leyva Solano community, which belongs to the Guasave municipality (state of Sinaloa, Mexico). Based on its full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain FSQ1T was assigned to the genus Bacillus (100 % similarity). This taxonomic affiliation was supported by its morphological and metabolic traits. Strain FSQ1T was a Gram-stain-positive bacterium with the following characteristics: rod-shaped cells, strictly aerobic, spore forming, catalase positive, reduced nitrate to nitrite, hydrolysed starch and casein, grew in the presence of lysozyme and 2 % NaCl, utilized citrate, grew at pH 6.0-8.0, produced acid from glucose, was unable to produce indoles from tryptophan, and presented biological control against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The whole-genome phylogenetic results showed that strain FSQ1T formed an individual clade in comparison with highly related Bacillus species. In addition, the maximum values for average nucleotide identity and from Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator analysis were 91.57 and 44.20 %, respectively, with Bacillus spizizenii TU-B-10T. Analysis of its fatty acid content showed the ability of strain FSQ1T to produce fatty acids that are not present in closely related Bacillus species, such as C18 : 0 and C20 : 0. Thus, these results provide strong evidence that strain FSQ1T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus mexicanus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FSQ1T (CM-CNRG TB51T=LBPCV FSQ1T).

Abstract
Strain TSO2T, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and biological control agent, was isolated from wheat rhizosphere sampled from the Yaqui Valley in Mexico. The strain was identified using a polyphasic approach. Based on its analysis of the full-length 16S rRNA gene, strain TSO2T was assigned to the genus
Bacillus
, which was supported by morphological and metabolic traits, such as Gram-positive staining, rod shape, spore formation, strictly aerobic metabolism, catalase-positive activity, starch, and casein hydrolysis, reduction of nitrate to nitrite, growth in presence of lysozyme and 2 % NaCl, citrate utilization, growth at pH 6.0, acid production from glucose and indole production from tryptophan. Additionally, strain TSO2T possesses swarming motility, presenting a featureless mat pattern that can cover the whole petri dish. The whole-genome phylogenetic relationship analysis elucidated that strain TSO2T is closely related to
Bacillus cabrialesii
TE3T. The maximum values for average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization from the genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC) were 97 and 73.4 %, respectively, related to
Bacillus cabrialesii
TE3T, where both ANI and GGDC values were barely above the species delimitation threshold, but below the subspecies limit. Also, strain TSO2T showed the ability to produce a fatty acid (C18 : 0) that is not present in closely related
Bacillus
species. These results provide evidence that strain TSO2T is a novel subspecies of the species
Bacillus cabrialesii
, for which the name
Bacillus cabrialesii
subsp. tritici subsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of
Bacillus cabrialesii
subsp. tritici subsp. nov. is TSO2T (CM-CNRG TB52T=LBPCV TSO2T). The description of this novel subspecies automatically creates the subspecies
Bacillus cabrialesii
subsp. cabrialesii subsp. nov. for which the type strain is TE3T (CM-CNRG TB54T=CCStamb A1T).
