Description of Paenibacillus naphthalenovorans MMS 22-AIC

Cells are aerobic, motile with flagella, and rod shaped. Colonies are white, irregular, pulvinate, and entire when incubated for 7 days on Actinomycete Isolation agar plates at 30° C. In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reaction, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while L-arabinose, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, potassium glutamate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain MMS22 -AIC (= NIBRBAC000509454) was isolated from a soil sample at Pohang , Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea .
