Description of Paenibacillus zeae CAU 1600

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.6-0.7 μm wide, 2.0-2.2 μm long). Colonies grown on nutrient agar are cream, circular, convex, and smooth. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for aesculin hydrolysis; activity of urease and β -galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction; indole production; glucose fermentation; gelatin hydrolysis; arginine dihydrolase activity; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain CAU 1600 (= NIBRBAC000503249) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Hampyeong , Republic of Korea (35°05 ʹ 34.1 ʺ N, 126°32 ʹ 20.8 ʺ E).
