Two RBBR-decolorizing bacteria (strains of Bacillus sp.) were
isolated and named CS-1 and CS-2. 16S rDNA sequence (1455 bp)
analysis indicated that CS-1 from Mt. Asahi and CS-2 from Mt.
Yonahadake were Bacillus sp. (100% identity with Bacillus subtilis
(1514 bp); GenBank Accession No. HQ727971.1 and 100% identity
with Bacillus sp. B37 (1508 bp); GenBank Accession No.
JN656409.1), respectively (data not shown).
