Bacillus sonorensis is a species of bacteria with type strain L87-10^T (= NRRL B-23154^T). ^[1] Its genome has been sequenced. ^[2]

Characteristics of B. sonorensis

S.I. Paul et al. (2021) ^[3] isolated and identified Bacillus sonorensis (strains KSP163A, and OA122) from marine sponges ( Haliclona oculata and Cliona carteri , respectively) of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colony, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of B. sonorensis are shown in the Table below. ^[3]
