These agro\u2010ecological regions are based on the climatic conditions such as pH, salinity, drought, and temperature. A total of 395 Bacilli were isolated by heat enrichment and different growth media. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis using three restriction enzymes <jats:italic>Alu<\/jats:italic>I, <jats:italic>Msp<\/jats:italic>I, and <jats:italic>Hae<\/jats:italic>III led to the clustering of these isolates into 19\u201327 clusters in the different zones at &gt;70% similarity index, adding up to 137 groups. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing led to the identification of 55 distinct Bacilli that could be grouped in five families, Bacillaceae (68%), Paenibacillaceae (15%), Planococcaceae (8%), Staphylococcaceae (7%), and Bacillales incertae sedis (2%), which included eight genera namely <jats:italic>Bacillus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Exiguobacterium<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Lysinibacillus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Paenibacillus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Planococcus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Planomicrobium<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Sporosarcina<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic>.
