Description of Paenibacillus tundrae 18JY42-5

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