A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, nonmotile, endospore-forming bacterium, designated Gsoil 349∨T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain Gsoil 349∨T belongs to the family Paenibacillaceae, and the sequence showed closest similarity with Cohnella thermotolerans DSM 17683∨T (94.1%) and Cohnella hongkongensis DSM 17642∨T (93.6%). The strain showed less than 91.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Poenibacillus species.
