Description of Loktanella agnita SK 54

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are irregular, convex, smooth, and cream-colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 20℃. Positive for nitrates reduction, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. 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 are not utilized as a sole carbon source. Strain SK54 (= HNIBRBA683) was isolated from seawater collected off the Wando Port (34°19 ʹ 33 ʺ N, 126°45 ʹ 01 ʺ E), Wando , Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SK54 is OL742681 .
