Bacillus nealsonii is a species of bacteria first isolated from a spacecraft-assembly facility. Its
spores are
γ-radiation resistant. It is
Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and produces endospores. Its type strain is FO-92T (=ATCC BAA-519T =DSM 15077T).[1]
This species has been recently transferred into the genus Niallia.[2] The correct nomenclature is Niallia nealsonii.
