Unusual Genomic and Biochemical Features of <i>Paenarthrobacter lasiusi</i> sp. nov-A Novel Bacterial Species Isolated from <i>Lasius niger</i> Anthill Soil.

ABSTRACT: The black garden ant (Lasius niger) is a widely distributed species across Europe, North America, and North Africa, playing a pivotal role in ecological processes within its diverse habitats. However, the microbiome associated with L. niger remains poorly investigated. In the present study, we isolated a novel species, Paenarthrobacter lasiusi, from the soil of the L. niger anthill. The genome of P. lasiusi S21 was sequenced, annotated, and searched for groups of genes of physiological, medical, and biotechnological importance. Subsequently, a series of microbiological, physiological, and biochemical experiments were conducted to characterize P. lasiusi S21 with respect to its sugar metabolism, antibiotic resistance profile, lipidome, and capacity
