Description of Colwellia echini YMSW 20

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated and rod shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, mucoid and brown colored after incubation for seven days on MA at 20℃. Positive for nitrates reduction, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. D- Glucose, N -acetyl-glucosamine and adipic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain YMSW20 (= HNIBRBA1717) was isolated from a sea water sample, Anmyeon-do (36°24′5.23″N, 126°25′ 39.67″E), Chungcheongnam-do, Korea .
