Description of Chryseobacterium lineare 18H3M2

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and yellow colored after incubation for 2 days on MH at 30℃. Positive for nitrate reduction, indole production, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase, but negative for glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain 18H3M2 (= GFMCBAC000000206) was isolated from stream side soil sampled at Seoul. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 18H3M2 is MK 129289.
