Description of Cytobacillus depressus R20

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.5-0.6 μm wide, 1.3-1.5 μm long). Colonies grown on R2 A agar are light yellow and circular. Oxidase activity is positive. In API 20NE test, nitrate reduction; urease activity; and gelatin hydrolysis, but negative for indole production; glucose fermentation; aesculin hydrolysis; activity of arginine dihydrolase and β -galactosidase; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain R20 (= NIBRBAC000503217) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Jeongseon, Republic of Korea (37°15 ʹ 38.4 ʺ N, 128°36 ʹ 28.7 ʺ E).

Bacillus depressus was reclassified as Cytobacillus depressus ( Patel and Gupta, 2020) .
