Paenibacillus albicereus sp. nov. and Niallia alba sp. nov., isolated from digestive syrup.

Two aerobic, Gram-stain variable, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative rods named strain UniB2 and UniB3, were isolated from digestive syrup containing fungal diastase (10 mg/ml), pepsin (2 mg/ml) and sugar base containing polyethylene glycol. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain UniB2 has the highest sequence similarity with Paenibacillus humicus NBRC 102415 (98.3%) and strain UniB3 showed the highest sequence similarity with Niallia circulans DSM 11 (98.
