Description of Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis DJ 8

Strain DJ 8 (= NIBRBAC000501577) was isolated from seawater in Daejung , Jeju, Korea. DJ8 cells are Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped (1.5 × 1.0 μm). DJ8 colonies are circular, smooth, convex, and white colored after 3 days on HMA at 30° C. Cells are positive for oxidase and catalase activity, and negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, and glucose acidification. Also, cells show negative activity for esterase (C4), lipase (C14), cystine arylamidase, α-chymotrypsin, α-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase, α-glucosidase, and α-fucosidase, but positive activity for β-glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), β-galactosidase (PNPG), arginine dihydrolase, urease, protease (gelatin hydrolysis), alkaline phosphatase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, trypsin, acid phosphatase, Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, and N -acetyl-β-glucosaminidase. Moreover, cells are positive for utilization of L-arabinose, gluconate, malate, D-mannitol, D-glucose, L-arabinose, propionate, caprate, citrate, L-histidine, L-proline, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-sucrose, D-maltose, acetate, L-alanine, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine, and negative for utilization of D-mannose, adipate, phenyl-acetate, salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, valerate, 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxy-butyr- ate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, inositol, itaconate, suberate, malonate, lactate, and 5-ketogluco- nate as energy and carbon source .
