description
Cells are aerobic, Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated and filamentous. Colonies are circular, spore-forming and brown white colored after incubation for 3 days on R 2 A agar at 20 - 40 ℃. In the API 20 NE system, positive reaction for hydrolysis of esculin and gelatin, β-galactosidase activity and utilization of D-glucose, D-mannose, Dmannitol, N acetylglucosamine, Dmaltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid and trisodium citrate. In the API 20 NE system, negative reaction for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, oxidase activity and utilization of Larabinose, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain 5 C 1 (= NIBRBAC 000503219) was isolated from cave soil in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, Korea (37 ° 07 ′ 46.2 ″ N 128 ° 31 ′ 58.6 ″ E).
