The 25 isolates of Paenibacillus listed in Table 2.2 (isolated from New Zealand produced cabbage and
rape seed lots and stored in the Smart Seeds Collection, Lincoln University, New Zealand) were
streaked on nutrient agar (NA) and incubated at 30°C in the dark for 72 h. All strains used in the study
were stored in 25% glycerol at -80 °C.
