Description of Falsirhodobacter halotolerans GHBS 15

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated and rod shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire and yellow colored after incubation for seven days on MA at 20℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrates reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. D- Glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources; but potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain GHBS15 (= HNIBRBA1909) was isolated from a halophyte sample, Goha-do (34°45′50.19″N, 126°22′ 14.06″E), Mokpo-si , Jeollanam-do, Korea .
