description
Cells are aerobic, Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth and cream colored after incubation for 3 days on R 2 A agar at 25 ℃. In the API 20 NE system, positive reaction for nitrate reduction and utilization of D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. In the API 20 NE system, negative reaction for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, hydrolysis of esculin and gelatin, β-galactosidase activity, oxidase activity and utilization of D-mannose, N acetylglucosamine, Dmaltose and adipic acid. Strain G 24 (= NIBR BAC 000503412) was isolated from ginsengcultivated soil in Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk Province, Korea (36 ° 53 ′ 51.5 ″ N 128 ° 28 ′ 02.3 ″ E).
