We previously reported on the detection and isolation of an indigenous population of Halobacillus from salt-damaged medieval wall paintings and building materials of Herberstein castle in St. Johann bei Herberstein in Styria, Austria. Several moderately halophilic, Gram-positive, endospore-forming Halobacillus-like bacteria could be again isolated by conventional enrichment from salt efflorescences collected in the medieval St. Virgil's chapel in Vienna. Comparative 16S rDNA sequence analyses showed that the St. Virgil isolates are most closely related (> 98.5% sequence similarity) to Halobacillus triteperi, Halobacillus litoralis, and to our previous halobacilli strains obtained from the castle Herberstein. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the strains could be clustered in three different groups. Group 1: St. Virgil strains S3, S4, S21,and S22 (99.8-100% sequence similarity); group 11: Herberstein strains K3-1, 17, and the St. Virgil strain S20 (99.3-99.7% sequence similarity); and group III: Herberstein strains I3, I3A, and I3R (100% sequence similarity). Molecular typing by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR), and internal transcribed spacer-homoduplex-heteroduplex polymorphism (ITS-HHP) fingerprinting showed that all isolates are typeable by each of the methods. RAPD was the most discriminatory method. With respect to their physiological characteristics-i.e., growth in the presence of 5-20% (w/v) NaCl, no growth in the absence of NaCl, optimum growth at 37 degrees C in media containing 5-10% (w/v) NaCl, and optimum pH around 7.5-8.0-the St. Virgil isolates resembled our previously isolated strains. However, the St. Virgil strains showed some differences in their biochemical properties. St. Virgil isolates hydrolysed Tween 80, two isolates reduced nitrate, and no isolate liquefied gelatine. The recurrent isolation of halobacilli from salt efflorescences on historic buildings and monuments at two different geographical locations may indicate that this group of bacteria is common in salt-affected ruins.
