Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed and rod shaped. Colonies grown on R2 A are brown, circular, convex and erose. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase and urease; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, 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 MMS21 -SJ4-13 (= NIBRBAC000508742) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Okcheon, Republic of Korea (36°21 ʹ 40.6 ʺ N 127°36 ʹ 02.0 ʺ E) .
