Description of Paenibacillus selenitireducens 18JY12-20

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and short rod-shaped. Colonies are yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on 1/10LB at 25℃. In API 20NE system, positive for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), esculin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase, D-glucose, potassium gluconate and malic acid. Weak positive for L-arabinose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, and D-maltose. Negative for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), urease, D-mannose, adipic acid, phenylacetic acid, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, D-mannitol, capric acid and trisodium citrate.

In API 32GN system, positive for D-saccharose (sucrose), itaconic acid, sodium malonate, lactic acid, D-fucose, L-arabinose, L-rhamnose, suberic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, sodium acetate, D-melibiose, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and L-proline. Negative for N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-maltose, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-sorbitol, propionic acid, capric acid and valeric acid. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation. Strain 18JY12- 20 (= NIBRBAC0000116025) was isolated from a soil sample in Korea.
