Novel gut bacteria species Paenibacillus ilasis with phosphorus degrading and soluble starch hydrolysis abilities isolated from fresh feces of rhinoceros.

ABSTRACT: The genus Paenibacillus, known for its diverse sources, is a valuable reservoir of antimicrobial compounds, enzymes and other valuable chemicals, with applications in medicine, agriculture, and bioremediation. Despite this, Paenibacillus strains, particularly those isolated from unique environments, remain underexplored, limiting our understanding of their potential, capabilities and taxonomic classifications. The gut microbiome of large herbivores, such as rhinoceroses, harbors underexplored microbial diversity with unique metabolic capabilities. In this study, a Gram-stain-negative, facultatively aerobic, motile, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, NGMCC 1.200843^T (= CGMCC 1.64763^T = JCM 37214^T), was isolated from fresh rhinoceros feces and charac
