Both strains shared anteiso-C<sub>15:0</sub> (55.9%) as the predominant fatty acid, menaquinone-7 as the major respiratory quinone and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipids. Based on these results, strains SGZ-1009<sup>T</sup> and SGZ-1014 represent a novel species of <i>Paenibacillus</i>, for which the name <i>Paenibacillus campi</i> sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SGZ-1009<sup>T</sup> (=MCCC 1K08892<sup>T</sup>=GDMCC 1.4280<sup>T</sup>=KCTC 43677<sup>T</sup>=JCM 36670<sup>T</sup>).</p>","PeriodicalId":14390,"journal":{"name":"International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology","volume":"75 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
