## Characteristics of Oceanobacillus kimchii

S.I. Paul et al. (2021)[2] isolated and identified Oceanobacillus kimchii (strains ISP152A, ISP172B, and KSP141C) from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colony, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of Oceanobacillus kimchii are shown in the Table below.[2]
