Summary: Two strains HN-1(T) and 39 isolated from different plant rhizospheres in China were found to have high nitrogenase activities and nearly identical 16S rRNA gene sequences, indicating they belong to the same species. They were identified as a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, named Paenibacillus sinensis, based on distinct phenotypic and genomic characteristics, despite their close relationship to Paenibacillus stellifer.

Summary: A nitrogen-fixing, endospore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated Paenibacillus caui, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of a peach tree collected from Handan, Hebei, PR China. The strain has a genome size of 4.4 Mb and is most closely related to Paenibacillus phoenicis and Paenibacillus faecis.

Summary: This study isolated six novel species within the genus Paenibacillus from the phyllosphere of Arabidopsis thaliana plants, highlighting their unexplored biotechnological potential. These bacteria were identified through MALDI-TOF mass spectra and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing, with distinct biochemical characteristics identified for each new species. The proposed names and type strains for each novel species were also provided.

Summary: Three novel bacterial strains belonging to the genus Paenibacillus were isolated from rhizosphere soils and characterized. Phylogenetic analysis showed that they formed three distinct branches and represented novel genospecies. The strains were proposed as new species and given specific names.

Summary: A Gram-positive, nitrogen-fixing strain with endospore-forming abilities was isolated from the gut of the armored catfish. Through genetic and phenotypic analysis, it was identified as a member of the Paenibacillus genus. Genome sequencing and DNA-DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that it represents a distinct species.

Summary: In this study, two bacterial strains belonging to the family Zoogloeaceae were isolated from coastal wetland habitats, and a novel species named Nitrogeniibacter aestuarii sp. nov. was proposed based on genomic and phylogenetic analyses. Additionally, four new genera were proposed, providing new insights into the taxonomy of the family Zoogloeaceae.

Summary: The study isolated five nitrogen-fixing bacteria from Tea and Groundnut rhizosphere soil, and identified RSKVG 02 as the most optimal strain. The conditions for RSKVG 02 were determined to be pH 7 at 30 degrees C, with 1% glucose and 0.05% ammonium sulfate as carbon and nitrogen sources. This bacterium exhibited plant growth-promoting traits and the potential to enhance soil fertility. Therefore, Rhizobium mayense could be a valuable biofertilizer for crop production, increasing yield, and improving soil fertility.

Summary: A novel exopolysaccharide (BD0.4) was purified from Paenibacillus bovis sp. nov BD3526 in wheat bran medium. The structure analysis revealed its composition and branching structure. BD0.4 exhibited enhanced phagocytic ability of macrophages and stimulated the secretion of immune factors from immune cells, possibly through the NF-kappa B signaling pathway.

Summary: A novel strictly anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium, designated SG60(T), was isolated from paddy soil in Fujian Province, China. Strain SG60(T) showed the highest 16S rRNA sequence similarities to the type strains of Fundidesulfovibrio magnetotacticus FSS-1(T) (97.2%) and Fundidesulfovibrio putealis DSM 16056(T) (96.4%). Phylogenetic analysis and genomic comparison confirmed that strain SG60(T) belongs to the genus Fundidesulfovibrio, but represents a new species, named Fundidesulfovibrio soli sp. nov. The findings contribute to the understanding of microbial diversity and evolution in anaerobic environments.

Summary: Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterial strains (JJ-7T and JJ-60T) isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays were classified as members of the genus Paenibacillus based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons. Both strains represented novel species (Paenibacillus auburnensis sp. nov. and Paenibacillus pseudetheri sp. nov.) within the genus Paenibacillus. Genomic comparisons and polar lipid profiles supported the taxonomic allocation, and physiological and biochemical characteristics further differentiated the strains from closely related species.

Summary: In this study, a novel bacterial strain MBLB1776(T) was isolated from marine mud in Uljin, the Republic of Korea. The strain was identified as a new species within the genus Paenibacillus, named Paenibacillus aurantius sp. nov. It was found that MBLB1776(T) produced carotenoid pigments, giving the cells an orange color.

Summary: Two novel species of strictly anaerobic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, Geomonas fuzhouensis sp. nov. and Geomonas agri sp. nov., were isolated from paddy soils in China. These two strains showed high similarities to the genus Geomonas, but had distinct physiological and genetic characteristics. These findings indicate the discovery of new species within the genus Geomonas.
