Description of Bacillus australimaris 18JY43-7

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, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, D-glucose, L-arabinose, Dmannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine and potassium gluconate are positive. Reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid are negative. In the API 32GN systems, utilization of itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and L-proline are negative. L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, Dribose, inositol, D-saccharose, D-maltose, L-serine, Dmannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, L-arabinose, propionic acid, capric acid and valeric acid are utilized. G + C content for strain 18JY43-7 is 40%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation.

Strain 18JY43-7 (= NIBRBA0000116014 ) was isolat- ed from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea .
