  • A new rod-shaped endospore-forming bacterium isolated from the hindgut flora of the termite, Reticulitermes speratus kyushuenesis Morimoto is described. The isolate stained Gram positive, but the KOH test and the test for L-alanine aminopeptidase were negative. The length of a single cell varies from 2.5-9.0 $\mu $m, and the cell is about 0.5-0.7$\mu $m thick. The isolate had a high cellulolytic ability and was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
