Description of Methylobacterium pseudosasicola HMF 4628

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies grown on R2 A are pink, circular, convex and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, capric acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain HMF4628 (= NIBRBAC000508752) was isolated from a costata birch bark sample collected from Gurye, Republic of Korea (35°17 ʹ 46.6 ʺ N 127°31 ʹ 14.6 ʺ E) .
