Domibacillus sp . 8LH is a whitish bacterium isolated from the pools of the Cuatro Cienegas Basin (CCB) in the state of Coahuila and belongs to the Bacillaceae family. It grows in circular colonies of about 6 mm in diameter and is capable of forming biofilms. This strain was identified because, in previous experiments in our laboratory, it presented altruistic interactions when co-cultured with bacteria of the genus Bacillus that participate in the nitrogen cycle. This altruistic behavior confers to this Domibacillus strain a potential use for the construction of bacterial consortia with diverse biotechnological applications., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
