Description of Marinobacter persicus MSP 3

Strain MSP3 (= CYQTBAC000000067) was isolated from marine sediment in Mosulpo, Jeju, Korea. MSP3 cells are Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped (0.8 × 2.5 μm). MSP3 colonies are circular, convex, and white colored after 2 days of incubation HMA at 25° C. Cells are positive for catalase activity, and negative for oxidase activity, the reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production, and glucose acidification. Also, cells show positive activity for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, and α-glucosidase, but negative activity for arginine dihydrolase, urease, β-glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), protease (gelatin hydrolysis), β-galactosidase (PNPG), lipase (C14), trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase, N -acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, and α-fucosidase. Moreover, cells are positive for utilization of D-glucose, D-mannose, gluconate, adipate, malate, phenyl-acetate, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionate, valerate, citrate, 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxy-bu- tyrate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, D-maltose, malonate, acetate, lactate, L-alanine, glycogen, and 3-hydroxy-ben- zoate, and negative for utilization of salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, caprate, L-histidine, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, itaconate, suberate, 5-ketogluconate, and L-serine as energy and carbon source .
