Short Business Description
Members of the genus Paenibacillus have recently been split off from the genus Bacillus and are motile, gram-positive rods. They can be easily distinguished on culture media due to their characterisitic growth patterns which form vortex-like or circular colonies of varying sizes.Paenibacillus grows extremely rapidly on culture media, and will overgrow an entire plate in 24 hours from a single point of inoculation. Therefore an exact count is almost impossible to determine.
