( 2007 ) Paenibacillus ginsengisoli sp. nov., a novel bacterium isolated from soil of a ginseng field in Pocheon Province, South Korea. PMID : 17043912 DOI : 10.1007/s10482-006-9102-x Abstract >>
A Gram-positive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, motile, spore-forming bacterial strain, designated Gsoil 1638T, was isolated from a soil sample of a ginseng field in Pocheon province (South Korea), and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. It grew well on nutrient agar medium, utilized a fairly narrow spectrum of carbon sources and tolerated 10% NaCl. The isolate was positive for catalase and oxidase tests but negative for the degradation of macromolecules such as casein, collagen, starch, chitin, CM-cellulose, xylan and DNA. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 50.7 mol%. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 (44%) and C16:0 (25%). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Gsoil 1638T fell within the radiation of the cluster comprising Paenibacillus species and joined Paenibacillus anaericanus DSM 15890T with a bootstrap value of 100%. These two strains shared 99.5% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other. The phylogenetic distance from any other validly described species within the genus Paenibacillus was less than 96.2%. DNA-DNA relatedness value between strain Gsoil 1638T and its closest phylogenetic neighbor, Paenibacillus anaericanus, was 62%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 1638T (= KCTC 13931T = LMG 23406T = CCUG 52472T) was classified in the genus Paenibacillus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Paenibacillus ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed.

( 2011 ) Reclassification of Paenibacillus ginsengisoli as a later heterotypic synonym of Paenibacillus anaericanus. PMID : 20870883 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.025650-0 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.025650-0 Abstract >>
The type strains of the species Paenibacillus ginsengisoli (KCTC 13931(T)) and Paenibacillus anaericanus (DSM 15890(T)) were compared in order to clarify the taxonomic relationship of the two species. On the basis of 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequence comparisons, the two strains shared 99.9 and 99.6 % similarity, respectively. The mean DNA-DNA relatedness value was 77 % and the genomic DNA G+C contents were 43.2 and 42.2 mol%, respectively. Phenotypic data, including fatty acid patterns and acid-production, enzyme-activity and substrate-utilization profiles, showed no pronounced differences between the type strains of the two species. These genotypic and phenotypic data suggest that the two taxa constitute a single species. According to Rules 38 and 42 of the Bacteriological Code, they should be united under the name Paenibacillus anaericanus, with the name Paenibacillus ginsengisoli as a later heterotypic synonym.

( 2005 ) Dechloromonas denitrificans sp. nov., Flavobacterium denitrificans sp. nov., Paenibacillus anaericanus sp. nov. and Paenibacillus terrae strain MH72, N2O-producing bacteria isolated from the gut of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa. PMID : 15879265 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.63484-0 Abstract >>
Earthworms emit nitrous oxide (N(2)O) via the activity of bacteria in their gut. Four N(2)O-producing facultative aerobes, ED1(T), ED5(T), MH21(T) and MH72, were isolated from the gut of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa. The isolates produced N(2)O under conditions that simulated the microenvironment of the earthworm gut. ED1(T) and ED5(T) were Gram-negative, motile rods that carried out complete denitrification (i.e. the reduction of nitrate to N(2)) and contained membranous c-type cytochromes. ED1(T) grew optimally at 30 degrees C and pH 7. ED1(T) oxidized organic acids and reduced (per)chlorate, sulfate, nitrate and nitrite. The closest phylogenetic relative of ED1(T) was Dechloromonas agitata. ED5(T) grew optimally at 25 degrees C and pH 7. ED5(T) grew mainly on sugars, and nitrate and nitrite were used as alternative electron acceptors. The closest phylogenetic relatives of ED5(T) were Flavobacterium johnsoniae and Flavobacterium flevense. MH21(T) and MH72 were motile, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria with a three-layered cell wall. Sugars supported the growth of MH21(T) and MH72. Cells of MH21(T) grew in chains, were linked by connecting filaments and contained membranous b-type cytochromes. MH21(T) grew optimally at 30-35 degrees C and pH 7.7, grew by fermentation and reduced low amounts of nitrite to N(2)O. The closest phylogenetic relatives of MH21(T) were Paenibacillus borealis and Paenibacillus chibensis. Based on morphological, physiological and phylogenetic characteristics, ED1(T) (= DSM 15892(T) = ATCC BAA-841(T)), ED5(T) (= DSM 15936(T) = ATCC BAA-842(T)) and MH21(T) (=DSM 15890(T) = ATCC BAA-844(T)) are proposed as type strains of the novel species Dechloromonas denitrificans sp. nov., Flavobacterium denitrificans sp. nov. and Paenibacillus anaericanus sp. nov., respectively. MH72 is considered a new strain of Paenibacillus terrae.
