Description of Flavobacterium plurextorum RSG-18

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are radial, convex, and yellow color- ed after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reduction, glucose acidification, esculin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase activity, and oxidase activity; but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain RSG-18 (= NIBRBAC000002469) was isolated from a gut of Sebastes schlegeli in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
