title: Paenibacillus cathormiisp. nov., isolated from tree bark.
abstract: A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacterium, strain BK114-2Tisolated from tree bark in Thailand was characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Analysis based on comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain BK114-2Twas affiliated to the genusPaenibacillus, and was closely related toPaenibacillus timonensis2301032T(96.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity),Paenibacillus phoenicis3PO2SAT(96.6 %) andPaenibacillus barengoltziiSAFN-016T(96.4 %). Strain BK114-2Tcontainedmeso-diaminopimelic acid in its cell-wall peptidoglycan. The polar lipids were composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unknown phospholipids, five unknown aminophospholipids and six unknown lipids. The only menaquinone detected was MK-7 and the dominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0(22.9 %), anteiso-C15 : 0(22.6 %), iso-C16 : 0(19.4 %) and anteiso-C17 : 0(14.7 %). The DNA G+C content was 52.0 mol%. Based on these results, strain BK114-2Trepreesents a novel species of the genusPaenibacillus, for which the namePaenibacillus cathormiisp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BK114-2T( = KCTC 33251T= TISTR 2282T).
