Seventy polyfloral honeys including commercial samples obtained from supermarkets, harvested from apiaries and purchased in bulk were initially examined for total antibacterial activity. From each sample, numbers of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total coliforms, moulds and yeasts were determined and the presence of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Clostridium sulfite-reducers, Paenibacillus larva...

Microbial culturomics represents a completely new approach to investigate microbial diversity by using different optimized culture conditions, mass spectrometry, genome sequencing and annotation and phenotypic description that allow for an extensive characterization of new species and the study of the human microbiome. Here we present four new species within the genus Paenibacillus: 'Paenibacil...

American foulbrood is the most destructive brood disease of honeybees (Apis mellifera) globally. The absence of a repeatable, universal typing scheme for the causative bacterium Paenibacillus larvae has restricted our understanding of disease epidemiology. We have created the first multilocus sequence typing scheme (MLST) for P. larvae, which largely confirms the previous enterobacterial repeti...

Psychrotolerant sporeformers, specifically Paenibacillus spp., are important spoilage bacteria for pasteurized, refrigerated foods such as fluid milk. While Paenibacillus spp. have been isolated from farm environments, raw milk, processing plant environments, and pasteurized fluid milk, no information on the number of Paenibacillus spp. that need to be present in raw milk to cause pasteurized m...

Here we report the draft genome sequence of an endophytic Paenibacillus tyrfis strain isolated from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia reserve forest, Malaysia. The genome size was approximately 8.04 Mb, and the assembly consisted of 107 scaffolds with 168 contigs, and had a G + C content of 53%. Phylogenetic analysis of strain SUK123 using the 16S rRNA gene revealed that it belonged to the fam...

Paenibacillus sp. strain FJAT-28004 is a spore forming and strictly aerobic bacterium. Here, we report the draft 7,479,858-bp genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. FJAT-28004, which will provide useful information for genomic taxonomy and phylogenomics of the genus Paenibacillus, as well as for the functional gene mining and application of Paenibacillus sp. FJAT-28004.

Paenibacillus peoriae is a potentially plant-beneficial soil bacterium and is a close relative to Paenibacillus polymyxa, the type species of the genus Paenibacillus. Herein, we present the 5.77-Mb draft genome sequence of the P. peoriae type strain with the aim of providing insight into the genomic basis of plant growth-promoting Paenibacillus species.

The National Bee Unit, part of the Central Science Laboratory (an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Defra) has been developing novel techniques for detection of bee pathogens. Two different methods are under examination, an antibody-based test for identification of foulbrood diseases for use in the field, and a nucleotide-based laboratory test for virus...
