ABSTRACT Paenibacillus is a spore-forming bacterial genus that is frequently isolated from fluid milk and is proposed to play a role in spoilage. To characterize the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Paenibacillus spp., we first used rpoB allelic typing data for a preexisting collection of 1,228 P...

To characterize the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Paenibacillus spp., we first used rpoB allelic typing data for a preexisting collection of 1,228 Paenibacillus species isolates collected from raw and processed milk, milk products, and dairy environmental sources. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and average nucleotide identity by BLAST (ANIb) analyses performed for a subset of 58 isolates representing unique and overrepresented rpoB allelic types in the collection revealed that these isolates represent 21 different Paenibacillus spp., with P. odorifer being the predominant species.

Hidden Markov models detected 9 to 10 different classes of cold shock-associated genetic elements in all P. odorifer isolates. Phenotypic testing revealed that all isolates tested here can grow in skim milk broth at 6°C, suggesting that psychrotolerance is conserved in P. odorifer.
