Paenibacillus anaericanus is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Paenibacillus ginsengisoli Lee et al. 2007.
Description is based upon a single isolate.
Gram-negative, motile rods, 0.5–1.0 x 2.0–5.0 μm, grouped in chains; cells are linked
by connecting filaments, have a three-layered cell wall without outer membrane;
contains b-type cytochromes. Produce ellipsoidal spores positioned terminally /
subterminally in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are flat, smooth and circular.
Aerobic, facultatively anaerobic. Growth temperature 5 to 40 ºC, optimum 30-35 ºC.
Grow at 5.8-8.6 pH (optimum 7.7) and in 2% NaCl, but not in 5% and 7% NaCl media.
Isolated from the gut of the earth-worm Aporrectodea caliginosa (collected from garden soil in Bayreuth, Germany).
Undetermined.
