Description of Paenibacillus humicus IMCC 33715

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-flagellated, and coccus-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and white-colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE. Capric acid is utilized as a sole carbon source, but not D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N- acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC 33715 (= NNIBR2020642BA8) was isolated from a sediment sample, Janghang Wetland, Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
