Table 2. Strains within the NCBI nr database sharing similarity to the isolates studied here.
Strains were selected based on their reported ability to utilize levoglucosan. Bacillus horikoshii, Bacillus korlensis 1 and 2, and Bacillus sp 5138, were originally named bacterium levoglucosan 1, 2, 8, and 10, respectively, and were putatively identified in this work (Table 1).
