Hydrogenophaga carboriunda

Description of Hydrogenophaga carboriunda M23HP170

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, 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, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, and capric acid are not. Strain M23HP170 (= HNIBRBA6208) was isolated from a halophyte sample, Aphaedo Island (34°51 ʹ 32.7 ʺ N, 126°13 ʹ 54 ʺ E) from Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863770 GoogleMaps .
