Description of Tritonibacter mobilis subsp. pelagius AMTF -M12

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed, and ovoid and rod shaped. Colonies grown on marine agar are dark yellow, circular, convex and glistening. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase and β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain AMTF-M12 (= NI- BRBAC000508906 ) was isolated from a tidal flat sample collected from Taean , Republic of Korea (36°33 ʹ 58.6 ʺ N 126°21 ʹ 57.1 ʺ E) .
