Description of Vibrio pectenicida GA 4

Strain GA 4 (= CYQTBAC000000062) was isolat- ed from seawater in Gwakji , Jeju, Korea. GA4 cells are Gram-stain-negative and curved-rod shaped (0.5 × 2.0 μm). GA4 colonies are circular, convex, and white colored after 2 days of incubation on HMA at 25° C. Cells are positive for oxidase activity, and negative for catalase 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 protease (gelatin hydrolysis), alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, and N -acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, but negative activity for arginine dihydrolase, urease, β-glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), β-galactosidase (PNPG), lipase (C14), valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, α-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, α-mannosidase, and α-fucosidase. Moreover, cells are positive for utilization of D-glucose, D-mannitol, caprate, D-mannose, adipate, and malate, and negative for utilization of gluconate, phenyl-acetate, salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionate, valerate, citrate, L-histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, 4-hydroxy-ben- zoate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, D-maltose, itaconate, suberate, malonate, acetate, lactate, L-alanine, 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine as energy and carbon source .
