Description of Novosphingobium ovatum CAU 1464

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, opaque, and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 30℃. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis and oxidase activity; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase activity. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain CAU 1464 (= NIBR BAC000501261) was isolated from a dead mine water sample in Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
