Background Alkaliphilic Gram-positive Bacillus species have important industrial applications due to their ability to produce extracellular enzymes that are resistant to high pH and/or high temperature conditions. Soil bacterium strain N-4 is an industrially important strain that produces at least 3 different carboxymethylcellulases with different pH optima. Cells are rod-shaped, 2.0-3.0 um in length and 0.3-0.4 um in width, are motile by peritrichous flagella and produce spores. Colonies are circular to slightly irregular and cream-colored. Grows at between 20 and 40 degrees Celsius, with the optimum at around 37 degrees Celsius. The range of pH for growth is from 8 to 10, with the optimum at around pH 9-10. Tests positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and for the hydrolysis of soluble starch, Tweens 20, 40 and 60 and cellulose. It can grow at an NaCl concentration of 12% (w/v) NaCl, but not at 15%. The major isoprenoid quinone type is MK-7 (adapted from PMID 16280488). (HAMAP: BACCJ)
