Pararhodobacter aggregans

Description of Pararhodobacter aggregans M23HP266

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and yellow-colored after incubating for 7 days on MA at 20℃. They are positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannitol, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but D- mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, and adipic acid are not. Strain M23HP266 (= HNIBRBA6333) was isolated from a halophyte sample from Geumhodo Island (34°41 ʹ 52.0 ʺ N, 126°21 ʹ 59.0 ʺ E), Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863774 GoogleMaps .
