A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium, designated Gsoil 139T, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in Pocheon Province, South Korea, and was characterized using a polyphasic approach. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Gsoil 139T belongs to the family Paenibacillaceae. The greatest sequence similarity was found with respect to the type strains of Paenibacillus hodogayensis (95.6 %) and Paenibacillus koleovorans (93.8 %). The strain showed less than 93.8 % sequence similarity with respect to other species of the genus Paenibacillus. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 48.1 mol%. In addition, the presence of MK-7 as the major menaquinone and C15 : 0 anteiso as a major fatty acid (27.9 %) justifies its affiliation to the genus Paenibacillus. On the basis of its phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 139T represents a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus ginsengarvi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil 139T (=KCTC 13059T =DSM 18677T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Gsoil 139T is AB271057.

An extended 16S rRNA gene sequence-based neighbour-joining tree is available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
