Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed and rod shaped. Colonies grown marine agar are pale yellow, circular, slightly convex and glistening. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction and β -galactosidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain 14MAJJD-6 (= NIBRBAC000508915) was isolated from a tidal flat sample collected from Jangheung, Republic of Korea (34°36 ʹ 49.2 ʺ N 127°00 ʹ 41.7 ʺ E) .
