Abstract

A white-coloured, rod-shaped, motile, aerobic, and Gram-stain-positive bacterial strain S3N08T was isolated from agricultural soil. The strain grew at temperature 10–40 °C, at 0–1.0% (w/v) NaCl concentration, and at pH 6.5–8.0. Catalase was negative and oxidase was positive. The phylogenetic analysis inferred that the strain S3N08T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus, with the closest relative being Paenibacillus periandrae PM10T (95.6% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The only menaquinone was MK-7 and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant fatty acids were antiso-C15:0, C16:0, and iso-C15:0. The DNA G + C content was 45.1%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain S3N08T and with closest members were < 72.0% and < 19.0%, respectively. Altogether, the phylogenetic, genomics, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic evidence illustrated in this study suggested that strain S3N08T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus agricola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S3N08T (= KACC 19666 T = NBRC 113430 T).
