Description of Paenibacillus stellifer BT 245

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.9-1.1 μm wide, 3.2-3.5 μm long). Colonies grown on R2 A agar are white, circular, and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for glucose fermentation; aesculin hydrolysis; β -galactosidase activity, but negative for nitrate reduction; indole production; gelatin hydrolysis; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT245 (= NIBRBAC000502995) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Uijeongbu, Republic of Korea (37°44 ʹ 52.7 ʺ N, 127°06 ʹ 20.8 ʺ E).
