Distribution of Bacillota in Water and Sediments from Aquatic Environments.

ABSTRACT: The phylum Bacillota comprises metabolically diverse bacteria with potential relevance in several fields. Although some genera, such as Bacillus and others, have been extensively studied, the distribution of Bacillota in the environment is still poorly understood. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of Bacillota present in water and sediment samples from different environments. For this purpose, water (W) and sediment (S) samples were collected from different marine environments (Dois Rios Beach - DR, Abraão Beach - AB, Massambaba Beach - MB, and Guanabara Bay - GB), freshwater lagoons (Jacarepiá Lagoon- JL) and hypersaline lagoons (Vermelha Lagoon - VL), all of which are located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The microbial communities present in each sample were determined by sequenc
