A novel species of the genus Paenibacillus KFC91T was isolated from Kafni glacier of the Himalayas. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that KFC91T clustered with Paenibacilllus antarcticus LMG 22078T (98.9%) and Paenibacillus macquariensis LMG 6935T (98.7%).The cell wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid, anteiso-C15:0 as the predominant fatty acid and MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, chemotaxonomic characteristics and other phenotypic traits, strain KFC91T was assigned to the genus Paenibacillus. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments of KFC91T with P. antarcticus and P. macquariensis showed reassociation values of 39 and 52% respectively. Thus, it is proposed that KFC91T may be assigned the status of a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus and the name proposed is Paenibacillus glacialis sp. nov., with KFC91T (=NCCB 100252T=DSM22343T) as the type strain.
