Abstract

During the study of microbial ecology of forest soil, two circular, white-colored bacterial colonies were isolated and labeled as strains TW38T and TW40T. Both strains were catalase positive and oxidase negative. Strains TW38T and TW40T demonstrated growth within a temperature range of 10–37 °C and 18–37 °C, respectively, and thrived within a pH range of 5.5–9.0 and 6.0–8.0, respectively. Both strains grew at 0–2.0% (w/v) NaCl concentrations. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that strains TW38T and TW40T affiliated to the genus Paenibacillus, with the closest neighbors being Paenibacillus montanisoli RA17T (98.6%) and Paenibacillus arachidis E3T (95.4%), respectively. In both strains, the sole respiratory quinone was MK-7, the signature fatty acid was antiso-C15:0, and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and the average nucleotide identity values between TW38T, TW40T, and closest reference strains were < 29.0% and < 85.0%, respectively. The DNA G+C content of TW38T and TW40T was 54.5% and 57.1%, respectively. In general, the phylogenetic, genomics, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic data support the differentiation of TW38T and TW40T from other closest members of the genus Paenibacillus. Thus, we conclude both strains TW38T and TW40T represent novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus silvisoli sp. nov. and Paenibacillus humicola sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strain of Paenibacillus silvisoli is TW38T (= KCTC 43468T = NBRC 116015T) and type strain of Paenibacillus humicola is TW40T (= KCTC 43469T = NBRC 116016T).
