Abstract
18 strains of Bacillus mucilaginosus were sampled from Poyang Lake area of Jiangxi province in China . Morphology and physio-biochemical characteristics and desilication ability on bauxite were studied. The results showed that all strains are rods and produced spores from elliptical to circular， while strains of P8、P11、P15 are short rod. Gram reaction of 18 strains are negative.The strains can use nitrites and ammonium salt as nitrogen source, and survived in the nitrogen free medium. P4、P3 showed strong desilication ability, compared to blank control the content of soluble SiO2 increased to 4.57、4.13 times respectively; P2、 P7、P9 could tolerate 4% NaCl and were growing well at the temperature ranging from 25~35 °C.
