description
Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped and occur as single or paired cells. Cells are 1.0 – 1.6 µm in length and 0.4 – 0.5 µm in width. Colonies are yellow and circular with entire margins on TSA plates. Growth occurs with 0 – 3 % (w / v) NaCl (optimum 1 %), at 10 – 37 Ǫ C (optimum 30 Ǫ C) and at pH 6 – 9 (optimum pH 7). Unable to grow on TSA under anaerobic conditions. Oxidase and catalase reactions are positive. Negative for the following: citrate utilization, H 2 S production, indole production and glucose fermentation. Positive for hydrolysis of casein and Voges – Proskauer test. In API 20 NE tests, positive for arginine dihydrolase, but negative for arabinose, mannose, N - acetylglucosamine, maltose, gluconate, adipic acid and malic acid. Can produce acid from aesculin. Positive for the enzyme activity of cystine arylamidase, weakly positive for esterase C 4, esterase lipase C 8 and chymotrypsin, but negative for a-glucosidase. The predominant polar lipid is PE. The predominant respiratory quinone is MK- 6. The diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan is meso - diaminopimelic acid. The type strain, YH 5 T (= CICC 24247 T = KCTC 62174 T), was isolated from the YonghuCo wetland on the Tibetan Plateau. The genomic DNA G + C content of the type strain is 33.3 mol %.
