Description of Seohaeicola zhoushanensis CAU 1651

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies grown on GYE agar are cream, circular, entire, convex, smooth and trans- lucent. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for urease, esculin hydrolysis, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of N -acetyl-glucosamine and capric acid. Strain CAU 1651 (= NIBRBAC000508833) was isolated from a seawater sample collected from Ganghwa , Republic of Korea (37°38 ʹ 59.6 ʺ N 126°20 ʹ 02.8 ʺ E) .
