A rod-shaped, white color colony with lobate architectures,
strain h2T was isolated from a moderately acidic soil on Jeju
Island, Republic of Korea. Comparative analysis of the 16S
rRNA gene sequence showed that the strain h2T is closely
related to Paenibacillus relictisesami DSM 25385T (97.4%,
16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Paenibacillus azoreducens
KACC 11244T (97.2%), and Paenibacillus cookii LMG
18419T (97.0%). DNA-DNA hybridization indicated that the
strain h2T has relatively low levels of DNA-DNA relatedness
with respect to P. relictisesami DSM 25385T (10.2%) and P.
azoreducens KACC 11244T (13.7%). Additionally, the genomic
DNA G + C content of h2T is 51.5 mol%. The isolated strain
grew at pH 4.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 6.0–7.0) and 0–5% (w/v)
NaCl (optimum, 0%) and a temperature of 15–45°C (optimum
35°C). The quinones in the strain are MK-6 and MK-7,
and the predominant fatty acid is C15:0 anteiso (32.1%) followed
by C17:0 anteiso (26.5%), and C16:0 iso (21.0%). Based
on its phenotypic properties, genotypic distinctiveness, and
chemotaxonomic features, strain h2T is proposed as a novel
species in the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus
albilobatus sp. nov. is proposed (= KCCM 43269T =
JCM 32395T = LMG 30408T). The type strain of Paenibacillus
albilobatus is h2T.
