A Novel Carotenoid-Producing Bacterium, Paenibacillus aurantius sp. nov., Isolated from Korean Marine Environment.

ABSTRACT: The novel bacterial strain MBLB1776^T was isolated from marine mud in Uljin, the Republic of Korea. Cells were Gram-positive, spore-forming, non-motile, and non-flagellated rods. Growth was observed at a temperature range of 10-45 °C, pH range of 6.0-8.0, and NaCl concentrations of 0-4% (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that MBLB1776^T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and was closely related to Paenibacillus cavernae C4-5^T (94.83% similarity). Anteiso-C_15:0, iso-C_16:0, C_16:0, and iso-C_15:0 were the predominant fatty acids. Menaquinone 7 was identified as the major isoprenoid quinone. The major polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylg
