Description of Evansella clarkii K8S12

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, raised, entire, and white colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 25℃. Positive for β-galactosidase, tryptophane deaminase, and acetoin production; but negative for arginine dihydrolase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, citrate utilization, H 2 S production, urease, indole production, and gelatinase in API 20E. D-Glucose, D-mannitol, inositol, D-sorbitol, L-rhamnose, D-sucrose, D-melibiose, amygdalin, and L-arabinose are utilized for fermentation/oxidation. In the API 50 CH test, positive for L-xylose, D-arabitol, L-arabitol, and potassium 5-ketogluconate. The API ZYM test is positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase, lipase esterase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, α-chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, naphtol-as-bi-phosphohydrolase, and β-glucuronidase. Strain K8S12 (= HNIBR BA4480 ) was isolated from a tidal flat sample collected from Amtae-do (34°51′32.08″N, 126°8′1.03″E), Shinan, Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain K8S12 is OP602 330 .
