Description of Halomonas radicis JGD 6

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated and rod shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, undulate and light orange colored after incubation for seven days on MA at 20℃. Positive for nitrates reduction and esculin hydrolysis; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. D- Glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources; but capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain JGD6 (= HNIBRBA1879) was isolated from a halophyte sample, Amtae-do (34°51′34.85″N, 126° 7′57.53″E), Jeollanam-do, Korea .
