Paenibacillus polymyxa, also known as Bacillus polymyxa, is a Gram-positive bacterium capable of fixing nitrogen. It is found in soil, plant tissues, marine sediments and hot springs.^[1] It may have a role in forest ecosystems^[2] and potential future applications as a biofertilizer and biocontrol agent in agriculture.^[3]
