Description of Gramella oceani MBLB2135

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and short rod-shaped cells with 0.6-0.7 μm in width by 1.2-1.4 μm in length. Colonies are yellow color, circular, and raised after two days of incubation on MA at 30℃. Catalase and oxidase activities are negative. Growth occurs in the 10- 30℃ (optimum, 25℃) at 0-6% NaCl (optimum, 3%) at pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). In API 20NE test, positive for esculin and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production, D- glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, esculin and gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase activity. In API 32GN test, D- mannitol, D- glucose, citrate, L- rhamnose, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, 5-ketogluconate, and glycogen are utilized; but salicin, D- melibiose, L- fucose, D- sorbitol, L- arabinose, propionate, caprate, valerate, L- histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L- proline, D- ribose, inositol, D- sucrose, D- maltose, itaconate, suberate, malonate, acetate, lactate, L- alanine, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L- serine are not utilized as a sole energy source. The NCBI accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OP077214. Strain MBLB2135 (= NIBRBAC00 0509761) was isolated from marine sediment from East Sea , Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea (36°42′21.8″N, 129°35′0.7″E) .
