A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacterium, strain BK114-2 T isolated from tree bark in Thailand was characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Analysis based on comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain BK114-2 T was affiliated to the genus Paenibacillus , and was closely related to Paenibacillus timonensis 2301032 T (96.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Paenibacillus phoenicis 3PO2SA T (96.6 %) and Paenibacillus barengoltzii SAFN-016 T (96.4 %). Strain BK114-2 T contained meso -diaminopimelic acid in its cell-wall peptidoglycan. The polar lipids were composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unknown phospholipids, five unknown aminophospholipids and six unknown lipids. The only menaquinone detected was MK-7 and the dominant cellular fatty acids were C 16 : 0 (22.9 %), anteiso-C 15 : 0 (22.6 %), iso-C 16 : 0 (19.4 %) and anteiso-C 17 : 0 (14.7 %). The DNA G+C content was 52.0 mol%. Based on these results, strain BK114-2 T repreesents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus , for which the name Paenibacillus cathormii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BK114-2 T ( = KCTC 33251 T  = TISTR 2282 T ).
