Description of Kocuria rosea HR 39

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated and rod­shaped. Colonies are irregular, convex, glistening and pale orange/yellow­colored after 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction and β-galactosidase in API 20NE, and negative reactions are obtained for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis and gelatinase. D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannitol, D­maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid and malic acid are utilized. Does not utilize D­mannose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, capric acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain HR39 (= NIBRBA0000113993) was isolated from a tidal flat sample, Hwango-ri, Anmyeon­eup, Taean, Korea.
