A Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, motile, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain L5 T , was isolated from soil of Tenglong cave, China. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain L5 T was related most closely to Bacillus asahii MA001 T (96.5 %) (the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Bacillus kribbensis BT080 T (96.4 %) and Bacillus deserti ZLD-8 T (96.2 %). The DNA G+C content of strain L5 T was 45.6 mol%. The major menaquinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were iso-C 14 : 0 , anteiso-C 15 : 0 and iso-C 16 : 0 , and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. In addition, strain L5 T had different characteristics compared with the other Bacillus strains such as pink colony colour, low growth temperature and low nutrient requirement. The results indicate that strain L5 T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus cavernae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L5 T (5KCTC 33637 T 5CCTCC AB 2015055 T ).

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, yellow, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain E62-3 T , was isolated from soil of Enshi Grand Canyon, Hubei province, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain E62-3 T was most closely related to Sphingomonas laterariae LNB2 T . Strain E62-3 T exhibited the highest 16SrRNA gene sequence similarity to Sphingosinicella vermicomposti YC7378 T (96.0 %), Sphingobium xanthum NL9 T (95.8 %), Sphingobium boeckii 469 T (95.7 %) and Sphingomonas laterariae LNB2 T (95.5 %) within the family Sphingomonadaceae. The major fatty acids (>5 %) of strain E62-3 T were C 18 : 1 !7c, summed feature 3 (C 16 : 1 !7c and/or iso-C 15 : 0 2-OH), C 16 : 0 and C 14 : 0 2-OH. The predominant respiratory quinone and polyamine were ubiquinone Q-10 and homospermidine, respectively. The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. The genomic DNA G +C content was 66.4 mol%. The genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data revealed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonas faucium sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E62-3 T (=KCTC 42834 T =CCTCC AB 2015300 T ).

Based on modern financial intermediary theory, this paper examines the similarities and differences between Islamic banks and conventional commercial banks in the aspects of hypothesis about human nature, operation target, financial standardization and disclosure. The paper points out that Islamic banks have diverged from the ideal PSL model to lease and sales-based contracts in last 20 years, and moreover, the development and growth of Islamic banking was the result of reconciling conventional banking system with the sharia. In future, Islamic banks and conventional commercial banks will get more compatible in financial inclusion, risk management and theories on modern enterprise management.
