Genome-based polyphasic characterization of paddy soil-derived Paenibacillus: proposal of four novel species with plant growth-promoting traits
The genus Paenibacillus is primarily inhabited in plant-associated habitats, indicating its potential for plant growth promotion in agriculture. However, the diversity and functional potential of Paenibacillus in paddy soils remains largely unexplored. In the present study, six strains designated...
