The genomes were compared using the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome. Growth indicators for pH and temperature: -, no growth; +, fair; ++, moderate; +++, best. Growth indicators for biochemical and antibiotic sensitivity tests: -, no growth; +, growth; ND, not determined. The data on pH, temperature, biochemical, antibiotic sensitivity for strains 2–12 were obtained from the previous studies of [22,63].
