Description of Paenibacillus liaoningensis BT 366

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.5-1.2 μm wide, 1.8-3.5 μm long). Colonies grown on R2 A agar are white, circular, convex, and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction; hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; β -galactosidase activity; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, and malic acid, but negative for indole production; glucose fermentation; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; and assimilation of D- mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT366 (= NIBRBAC000503003) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Seoul, Republic of Korea (37°37 ʹ 48.8 ʺ N, 127°05 ʹ 22.6 ʺ E).
