Description of Flavobacterium tructae 18N3 V 8

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth, raised, and yellow colored after incubation for 2 days on MH at 30℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not L-arabinose, D-mannitol, capric acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain 18N3 V 8 (= GFMCBAC 000000201) was isolated from soil sampled at Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 18N3 V 8 is MK 129285.
