| Abstract | The endosporulation process is an extremely efficient strategy for bacterial survival. Aerobic endospore forming bacteria are isolated from the most diverse environments and it is likely that they play a major role in the ecology of those sites. These bacteria are allocated in more than 25 families and 200 genera within the Phylum Firmicutes. Most of the bacteria allocated in this Phylum stain Gram positive, have low G+C content and a very thick cell wall. The endosporulation is the main feature of the Phylum, but the ability to form spores is not present in all lineages. The aerobic endospore forming bacteria have great biotechnological potential and are of great importance to medical, agricultural, ecological and biodefense fields. Despite of their importance, there is little investigation on aerobic endospore forming bacteria. The present knowledge about them is extrapolated from studies on individual species, like Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus and related species. In this work it was assessed the diversity of aerobic endospore forming bacteria, isolated from Distrito Federal soil, by phylogeny based on comparison of 16S rRNA genes sequences and also by plasmid pattern. This study was performed with 45 lineages called SDF that belong to the collection of the Microbiology Laboratory/LaBafes of UnB. The data obtained in this work indicate a great diversity among the environmental lineages. |
