What is it about?
We have previously reported the production of Thermostable amyloid bioemulsifier by Solibacillus silvestris strain AM1. In this report, we have checked for its taxonomical position in Genus Solibacillus and checked for its ability to produce bioemulsifier in dififerent conditions.

Why is it important?
Recently, genus Solibacillus has been classified into S. silvestris, S. kalamii and S. isronensis. But the classification needs better streamlining as seen in the phylogenetic analysis in this report.
Perspectives
In this report, we analysed S. silvestris strain AM1 with type strain HR3-23 by DNA-DNA hybridization technique. We also analysed the strain with respect to its chemotaxonomic results. Recently, genus Solibacillus has been further classified into S. kalamii and S.isronensis. When the 16S rDNA (>1000bp) sequences of genus Solibacillus available in Genbank were analysed phylogenetically, it was found that the same species clustered in different branches. Thus it shows a need for streamlining of genus Solibacillus with respect to its species. Further, we studied S.silvestris strain AM1 for its amyloid bioemulsifier (BE-AM1) production with respect to different physical factors and also in oligotrophic conditions.
