Description of Sphingomonas montanisoli HMG 3570

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies grown on R2 A are cream, circular, convex and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for assimilation of D- glucose; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain HMG3570 (= NIBRBAC000508768) was isolated from a moss sample collected from Yongin, Republic of Korea (37°20 ʹ 20.1 ʺ N 127°15 ʹ 55.5 ʺ E) .
