Description of Caulobacter fusiformis IMCC 25662

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, rod, stalk-presenting, and aerobic. Colonies grown on R2A are circular, convex, entire, and yellow-pigmented. Positive for nitrate reduction, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and gelatinase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and D-maltose are utilized. Does not utilize D-mannitol, D-maltose, gluconic acid, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC25662 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Caulobacter fusiformis ATCC 15257 T (99.3%). Strain IMCC25662 (= IHBA_13) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Lake Soyang. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is KY053186.
