A Bacillus sp. isolated from sediments of the Sarno River mouth, Gulf of Naples (Italy) produces a biofilm biosorbing Pb(II). Pb15

The bacterial strain Pb15 has been isolated from highly polluted marine sediments at the Sarno River mouth, Italy, in the presence of Pb(II) 0.48 mmol-1. 16S rRNA gene sequencing assigned the isolate to the genus Bacillus, with B. pumilus as the closest species.

菌株Pb15是在Pb(II)浓度为0.48 mmol⁻¹的条件下，从意大利萨尔诺河入海口的重度污染海洋沉积物中分离得到的。经16S rRNA基因测序（16S rRNA gene sequencing）鉴定，该分离菌株被归类至芽孢杆菌属（Bacillus），其最接近的物种为短小芽孢杆菌（B. pumilus）。
