Description of Virgibacillus proomii 19D1C9

Gram-stain-positive, facultative anaerobic, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.3-0.5 μm wide, 2.0-2.7 μm long). Colonies grown on mueller hinton agar are cream, circular, undulate, and convex. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; and assimilation of D- glucose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose and potassium gluconate, but negative for nitrate reduction; indole production; glucose fermentation; activity of arginine dihydrolase, urease, and β -galactosidase; and assimilation of L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 19D1C9 (= NIBRBAC000503257) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Jeongseon, Republic of Korea (37°22 ʹ 56.8 ʺ N, 128°40 ʹ 01.2 ʺ E).
