Description of Paenibacillus polysaccharolyticus 18H7A6

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, rod-shaped, and facultative anaerobic. Colonies are circular, flat, smooth, undulate, and white colored after 2 days on MH at 30℃. Positive for oxidase. Hydrolyses esculin and gelatin. Reduces nitrate to nitrite. Cannot produce acid from glucose. Does not produce indole. Possesses activity of β -galactosidase, but not arginine dihydrolase or urease. Assimilates glucose, arabinose, mannitol, maltose, but not mannose, N- acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, or phenylacetic acid. Strain 18H7A6 (= NIBRBAC000502542) was isolated from soil, Gimpo, Korea. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is MK129286.
