Description of Bacillus wiedmannii 18JY12-7

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 systems, reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2) and utilization of esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, D-glucose, N - acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, malic acid and trisodium citrate are positive. Reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, capric acid and adipic acid are not utilized. In the API 32GN systems, utilization of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, capric acid, 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 18JY12-7 is 42.4%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation.

Strain 18JY12-7 (= NIBRBA0000116017 ) was isolat- ed from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea .
