description
Gram-stain-positive, anaerobic, flagellated, short rod-shaped bacterium (0.3 - 0.6 μm wide, 0.3 - 0.9 μm long). Colonies grown on nutrient agar are cream, circular, smooth, and shiny. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20 NE test, cells are positive for indole production; glucose fermentation; hydorlysis of aesculin and gelatin; and assimilation of D- glucose, but negative for nitrate reduction; activity of arginine dihydrolase, urease, and β - galactosidase; and assimilation of L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N - acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain CAU 1562 (= NIBRBAC 000503233) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Incheon, Republic of Korea (37 ° 31 ʹ 56.3 ʺ N, 126 ° 25 ʹ 43.5 ʺ E).
