Description of Chitinophaga pinensis L3R2-3

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated and rod shaped. The colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening and yellow colored after incubation for seven days on R2 A agar at 25℃. Positive for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrates reduction, glucose fermentation and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. L- Arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, adipic acid, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources; but D- glucose, potassium gluconate, capric acid and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain L3 R2-3 (= HNIBRBA4516) was isolated from a soil sample, Seogwipo-si (33°19′ 32.92″N, 126°50′23.71″E), Jeju-do, Korea .
