Paenibacillus gyeongsangnamensis sp. nov., Isolated from Soil

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, white-coloured, rod-shaped bacteria, designated as a strain dW9T , was isolated from soil. Strain dW9T was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Strain dW9T grew at temperature of 20–37°C and at pH of 5.0–7.0. Phylogenetic and 16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that strain dW9T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus with its closest relative being Paenibacillus filicis S4T (97.4% sequence similarity). The genome size of dW9T was 7,787,916 bp with DNA G+C content of 51.3%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of dW9T with its closest relatives were found to be <22.0% and <74.0%, respectively. The only respiratory quinone was MK-7, and the major fatty acids were antiso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0. Overall, the comprehensive taxonomic analysis revealed that strain dW9T met all the fundamental criteria to be classified as a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus. Accordingly, we propose the name Paenibacillus gyeongsangnamensis sp. nov., with the type strain dW9T (=KCTC 43431T =NBRC 116022T ).
