Paenibacillus sp.Y412MC10 was one of a number of organisms isolated from Obsidian Hot Spring, Yellowstone National Park, Montana, USA under permit from the National Park Service. The isolate was initially classified as a Geobacillus sp. Y412MC10 based on its isolation conditions and similarity to other organisms isolated from hot springs at Yellowstone National Park. Comparison of 16 S rRNA seq...

background: the american foulbrood disease (afb), caused by paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae, is one of the main plagues affecting honey bee (apis mellifera l.) colonies, and it has a high negative impact on beekeepers worldwide. objectives: the aim of this research was to describe the evidence of paenibacillus larvae larvae contamination of honey bee colonies, in the east azerbaijan province...

A novel bacterial strain, DS-1T, was isolated that degrades heteropolysaccharide produced by the cyanobacterium Nostoc commune. The isolate was identified by a combination of phenotypic characterization, cellular fatty acid analysis, DNA base composition, DNA-DNA hybridization and 165 rRNA gene sequence analysis. Phylogenetic analysis placed strain DS-1T within the Paenibacillus cluster on a ph...

Strain B538T is a Gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, which was isolated from Xinjiang province in China. This organism grew optimally at 30-35 degrees C and pH 8.0-8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain B538T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 47.0 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell wall type, A...

Background: A number of microorganisms and their enzymes have been reported as xanthan depolymerizers. Paenibacillus species are well-known polysaccharide hydrolyzing bacteria. However, Paenibacillus alginolyticus and Paenibacillus sp. XD are the only species in the genus which are now known to degrade xanthan. Objectives: Complete biodegradation of the xanthan exopolysaccharide is a rarely fou...

Paenibacillus spp. are bacteria present in the environment but are rarely isolated in humans. Here we report the first case of bone infection caused by Paenibacillus turicensis and a second case of human infection caused by this bacterium.

Paenibacillus senegalensis strain JC66(T), is the type strain of Paenibacillus senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Paenibacillus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. P. senegalensis strain JC66(T) is a facultative Gram-negative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, togeth...

Paenibacillus sp. strain B2, isolated from the mycorrhizosphere of Sorghum bicolor and having an antagonistic activity towards soil-borne fungal pathogens, possessed extracellular cellulolytic, proteolytic, chitinolytic and pectinolytic enzyme activities. The eventual role of these lytic enzymes in cellular interactions between Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 and Phytophthora parasitica and Fusariu...

Psychrotolerant spore-forming bacteria represent a major challenge to the goal of extending the shelf life of pasteurized dairy products. The objective of this study was to identify prominent phylogenetic groups of dairy-associated aerobic sporeformers and to characterize representative isolates for phenotypes relevant to growth in milk. Analysis of sequence data for a 632-nucleotide fragment o...
