NoteCharacterization of endospore-forming bacteria associated with entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis spp., and description of Paenibacillus nematophilus sp. nov. Endospore-forming bacteria were isolated from insect-pathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis spp., from three diverse geographical locations. Spindle-shaped sporangia of these bacteria adhere to the free-living infective stage of the nematode, which carries them to new insect hosts, where the bacterium reproduces. These isolates were characterized based on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene sequences. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene placed the isolates within the genus Paenibacillus. The isolates shared higher sequence similarities with each other (95?1-100 %) than they did with any other named species within the genus (89?2-94 %). Paenibacillus macquariensis, Paenibacillus azoreducens, Paenibacillus amylolyticus and Paenibacillus durus were among the species with highest sequence similarity to these isolates. The isolates shared a high degree of phenotypic similarity and were easily distinguished from closely related members of the genus. Anteiso-C 15 : 0 and C 16 : 0 were among the major fatty acid types and the DNA G+C content was approximately 44 mol% in all isolates. DNA-DNA similarity studies revealed genomic heterogeneity among the isolates, such that they are likely to represent more than one species. Two of the isolates (both from a Heterorhabditis megidis isolate from Estonia) are phenotypically distinguishable from the others and are proposed as a single species, Paenibacillus nematophilus sp. nov. The type strain for this novel species is NEM1a T (=DSM 13559 T =NCIMB 13845 T ). The other isolates, although closely related to the proposed species, are likely to represent at least one, but most likely two, novel species.The genus Paenibacillus includes several species that are associated with dead insects in one way or another. Amongst these are obligate insect pathogens such as Paenibacillus popilliae, Paenibacillus lentimorbus and Paenibacillus larvae (Pettersson et al., 1999), as well as non-pathogens/facultative pathogens such as Paenibacillus apiarus (Nakamura, 1996) and Paenibacillus alvei (Krieg, 1981). Enright et al. (2001) found a Paenibacillus sp. associated with an insectpathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis megidis EU17. This nematode was isolated during a survey conducted in Estonia (Griffin et al., 1999).Heterorhabditis spp. nematodes are lethal pathogens of insects. Infective juveniles (IJs), the only infective stage of these nematodes, carry in their intestine a symbiotic bacterium belonging to the genus Photorhabdus (Forst et al., 1997). Upon infection of a suitable host insect, the symbiont is released into the haemocoel and causes the death of the insect within 48 h (Poinar, 1990). The Photorhabdus sp. then completely colonizes the dead insect cadaver, assisting in the breakdown of the insect tissues by secretion of an array of enzymes (Forst & Nealson, 1996). It is upon this bacterium and the ...

“…Since the description of the genus, continuous reclassifications of some other Bacillus species and descriptions of new species have increased considerably the number of species belonging to the genus Paenibacillus (for example Heyndrickx et al, 1996;Shida et al, 1997a, b;Pettersson et al, 1999;Roux & Raoult, 2004). At the time of writing, the genus Paenibacillus comprises at least 60 species with validly published names, including the recently described species Paenibacillus xylanilyticus (Rivas et al, 2005a), Paenibacillus phyllosphaerae (Rivas et al, 2005b), Paenibacillus hodogayensis (Takeda et al, 2005), Paenibacillus barcinonensis (Sánchez et al, 2005) and Paenibacillus rhizosphaerae (Rivas et al, 2005c).…”

A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, motile and endospore-forming bacterial strain, KSL-134 T , was isolated from an alkaline soil in Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic study. Strain KSL-134 T grew optimally at pH 7?5 and 30 6C. Its cell wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. Strain KSL-134 T was characterized as having MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and anteiso-C 15 : 0 as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 49?4 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KSL-134 T formed a distinct lineage within the evolutionary radiation encompassed by the genus Paenibacillus. Similarity levels between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KSL-134 T and those of the type strains of recognized Paenibacillus species ranged from 90?4 to 96?5 %. DNA-DNA relatedness levels and some differential phenotypic properties were enough to distinguish strain KSL-134 T from several phylogenetically related Paenibacillus species. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain KSL-134 T (=KCTC 3956 T =DSM 17040 T ) was classified in the genus Paenibacillus as a member of a novel species, for which the name Paenibacillus alkaliterrae sp. nov. is proposed.
