A bacterial strain, designated PALXIL04T, was isolated from the phyllosphere of Phoenix dactylifera. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate within the genus Paenibacillus with the closest relatives being Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus and Paenibacillus kobensis. DNADNA hybridization measurements showed low DNA relatedness (1520 %) between the isolate and its closest relatives. Cells were Gram-variable, facultatively anaerobic, motile, sporulating rods. Catalase and oxidase were produced by the organism. Cellulose, starch, aesculin and xylan were hydrolysed. Growth was supported by many carbohydrates as the carbon source. MK-7 was the predominant menaquinone and anteiso-C15 : 0 the major fatty acid. The G+C content of the DNA was 50·7 mol%. Phylogenetic, DNADNA relatedness and phenotypic analyses indicated that strain PALXIL04T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus phyllosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PALXIL04T (=LMG 22192T=CECT 5862T).
Published online ahead of print on 18 October 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63323-0.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PALXIL04T is AY598818.
An expanded neighbour-joining tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PALXIL04T and representative Paenibacillus strains is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
