Description of Paenibacillus periandrae BT 773

The cells are Gram-stain-positive, flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening, and cream-colored after incubating for 7 days on R2 A at 25℃. They are positive for glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, and arginine dihydrolase in API 20NE. D- glucose, D- mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and D- maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; but L- arabinose, D- mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain BT773 (= HNIBRBA7029) was isolated from a soil sample from Ungdo Island (36°55 ʹ 23.4 ʺ N, 126°22 ʹ 19.2 ʺ E), Seosan-si, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR350926 .
