Description of Paenibacillus macquariensis 18JY54-12

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are white-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25℃. In API 20NE system, positive for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase, D-glucose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate and malic acid. Weak positive for D-mannose, D-maltose, and trisodium citrate. Negative for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, L-arabinose, adipic acid, capric acid, and phenylacetic acid.

In API 32GN system, positive for N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, sodium acetate, lactic acid, glycogen, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, D-mannitol, and L-proline. Negative for inositol, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, and capric acid. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation. Strain 18JY54- 12 (= NIBRBAC0000116033) was isolated from a soil sample in Korea.
