Description of Bacillus albus 18JY7-2

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Colonies creamy white, mucoid, and translucent after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the API 20NE, reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -) and utilization of esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid andtrisodium citrate are positive. Reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. In the API 32GN systems, utilization of 3- hydroxybenzoic acid, capric acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid are negative. L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, Dribose, inositol, D-saccharose, D-maltose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and L-proline are utilized. G + C content for strain 18JY7-2 is 43.2%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation.

Strain 18JY7-2 (= NIBRBA0000116031 ) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea .
