Description of Chryseobacterium rhizoplanae 18H1 T 5

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 indole production, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, arginine dihydrolase, glucose fermentation, and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, and trisodium citrate. Strain 18H1 T 5 (= GFMCBAC000000198) was isolated from soil sampled at Hanam, Gyeonggi-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 18H1 T 5 is MK 129282.
