Alkalicoccobacillus gibsonii is a species of Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium. It is alkalitolerant, with optimal growth around pH 8, and was originally described as Bacillus gibsonii in 1995.[1] The type strain is PN-109T (= DSM 8722T = ATCC 700164T = LMG 17949T).
The species was subsequently assigned to the genera Alkalihalobacillus and Shouchella before being transferred to Alkalicoccobacillus in 2023.[2]
