Strain DCY16^T, a Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, was isolated from soil and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY16^T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus; highest sequence similarities were with Paenibacillus validus JCM 9077^T (94.4 %), P. chinjuensis WN9^T (94.4 %), P. naphthalenovorans DSM 14203^T (94.2 %), P. ehimensis KCTC 3748^T (92.8 %) and P. elgii KCTC 10016BP^T (92.4 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain DCY16^T possessed menaquinone MK-7 and the predominant fatty acids were C_{15 : 0} anteiso, C_{17 : 0} anteiso, C_{16 : 0} and C_{16 : 0} iso. The DNA G+C content of strain DCY16^T was 50.9 mol%. Results of physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain DCY16^T represents a distinct Paenibacillus species. Based on these data, DCY16^T (=KCTC 13141^T =JCM 14928^T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Paenibacillus ginsengihumi sp. nov. is proposed.

An extended phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the relationship between strain DCY16^T and members of the genus Paenibacillus is available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
