Description of Paenibacillus illinoisensis 18JY14-35

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and short rod-shaped. Colonies are yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on 1/10LB at 25℃. In API 20NE system, positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, D-glucose, β-galactosidase, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, potassium gluconate and malic acid. Weak positive for L-arabinose, trisodium citrate, D-maltose, D-mannitol and D-mannose. Negative for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid.

In API 32GN system, positive for N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, glycogen, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, L-arabinose, trisodium citrate and L-histidine. Negative for itaconic acid, suberic acid, propionic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, inositol, sodium malonate, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, capric acid, valeric acid, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and L-proline. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation. Strain 18JY14-35 (= NIBRBAC0000116019) was isolated from a soil sample in Korea.
