Solibacillus is a genus of Gram positive, rod shaped, spore-forming bacteria.
Solibacillus silvestris was proposed, referring to its original designation as a member of Bacillus, and the fact that the species was first isolated from soil.
[5] In addition, the family Caryophanaceae underwent several taxonomic changes to account for the large number of phylogenetically unrelated species that were misclassified.
[5] Using comparative genomic analyses, the study identified several unique molecular markers (specifically conserved signature indels) could serve as a reliable means to distinguish genera such as Solibacillus within the family.
[5] These CSIs provide a reliable molecular method for distinguishing Solibacillus species from other genera within the family Caryophanaceae and all other bacteria.
