Deskripsi
A new strain of Bacillus sp. was obtained during experiments of oil shale demineralization, which were carried out in order to get ’pure’ organic matter (kerogen). The demineralization efficiency of newly isolated strain was found to be substantially higher in comparison with that of Bacillus circulans Jordan 1890. On the basis of the biochemical characteristics, protein patterns and fatty acid composition, as well as the whole genome profile and 16S rDNA sequencing, the new strain was identified as Bacillus circulans VD01.
