Sutcliffiella horikoshii is a species of Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium. It is alkalitolerant, with optimal growth at approximately pH 8. The specific epithet horikoshii honours Japanese microbiologist Koki Horikoshi. The type strain is PN-121T (= DSM 8719T = ATCC 700161T).
The species was originally described as Bacillus horikoshii in 1995 and was transferred to the genus Sutcliffiella in 2020 on the basis of phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses.
