In this study, thirteen isolates, which were possibly expected to fix nitrogen, were isolated from soil and pea root nodules and identified by the gene analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. Two of these isolates that were able to form endospores and grow on nitrogen-free media were selected for spring wheat development research. The isolate <i>Paenibacillus</i> sp. S7 identified as <i>Paenibacillus polymyxa</i> was found to significantly increase the amount of ammonium and mineral N amounts in the soil. Furthermore, increased nitrogen accumulation in grains and a chlorophyll index were obtained after wheat treatment. <i>Paenibacillus</i> sp. S7 isolate was selected for further studies and the accession number MT900581 and strain name MVY-024 in NCBI nucleotide bank for this isolate were assigned. During the cultivation of <i>Paenibacillus</i> sp. MVY-024, sugarcane molasses and a yeast extract were determined as the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources, whose optimal concentrations were 100 g L<sup>−1</sup> and 10 g L<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. The optimal pH range for the cell culture was between 6.5 and 7.0, and the optimal air flow rate was 0.4 vvm. It was found that the air flow has an effect on biomass production and endospore formation. After <i>Paenibacillus</i> sp. MVY-024 biomass cultivation optimization, the cultured cell number was, on average, 2.2 × 10<sup>9</sup> cfu m L<sup>−1</sup>.
