Description of Paenibacillus gorilla 18JY39-1

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

In API 32GN system, positive for L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, glycogen, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid and L-histidine. Negative for suberic acid, lactic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, inositol, itaconic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-fucose, capric acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, and L-proline. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation. Strain 18JY39- 1 (= NIBRBAC0000116029) was isolated from a soil sample in Korea.
