Saccharibacillus endophyticus

Description of Saccharibacillus endophyticus M23HP199

The cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and white-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. L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, and potassium gluconate are utilized as sole carbon sources; but N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain M23HP199 (= HNIBRBA6230) was isolated from a halophyte sample from Aphaedo Island (34°51 ʹ 32.7 ʺ N, 126°13 ʹ 54 ʺ E), Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863772 GoogleMaps .
