The extensive environmental adaptability of the genus  Paenibacillus  is related to the enormous diversity of its gene repertoires.  Paenibacillus  sp. SSG-1 has previously been reported, and its agar-degradation trait has attracted our attention. Here, the genome sequence of  Paenibacillus  sp. SSG-1, together with 76 previously sequenced strains, was comparatively studied. The results show that the pan-genome of  Paenibacillus  is open and indicate that the current taxonomy of this genus is incorrect. The incessant flux of gene repertoires resulting from the processes of gain and loss largely contributed to the difference in genomic content and genome size in  Paenibacillus . Furthermore, a large number of genes gained are associated with carbohydrate transport and metabolism. It indicates that the evolution of glycometabolism is a key factor for the environmental adaptability of  Paenibacillus  species. Interestingly, through horizontal gene transfer,  Paenibacillus  sp. SSG-1 acquired an approximately 150 kb DNA fragment and shows an agar-degrading characteristic distinct from most other non-marine bacteria. This region may be transported in bacteria as a complete unit responsible for agar degradation. Taken together, these results provide insights into the evolutionary pattern of  Paenibacillus  and have implications for studies on the taxonomy and functional genomics of this genus.
