Description of Aeromicrobium choanae BT 578

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are yellow colored after 3 days of incubation on R2 A at 25℃. In the BIOLOG GEN III test, positive for dextrin, D-maltose, D-trehalose, D-cellobiolose, gentiobiose, sucrose, D-turanose, pH 6, D-salicin, 1% NaCl, 4% NaCl, α -D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, 6-methyl-glucose, L-rhamnose, inosine, sodium lactate, glycerol, D-glucose, D-fructose, gelatin, glyctl-L-proline, L-alanine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-serine, pectin, D-gluconic acid, quinic acid, methyl pyruvate, L-lactic acid, nalidixic acid, lithium chloride, potassium tellurite, β -butryric acid, α -butyric acid, acetoacetic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, aztreonam, sodium butyrate and sodium bromate; weak positive for stachyose, D-raffinose, α -D-lactose, D-melibiose, β -D-glucoside, N -glucosamine, β -mannosamin, N -galactosamin, neuraminic acid, D-mannose, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-serine, D-sorbitol, D-mannitol, D-arabitol, myo-inositol, D-aspartic acid, rifamycin SV, pyroglutamic acid, lincomycin, galacturonic acid, galactonic lactone, D-glucuronic acid, mucic acid, D-saccharic acid, vancomycin, tetrazolium violet, D-lactic acid, citric acid, α -glutaric acid, D-malic acid, L-malic acid, succinic acid, Tween 40, γ -butryric acid and α -butryric acid; but negative for pH 5, 8% NaCl, fusidic acid, D-serine, troleandomycin, minocycline, L-arginine, L-histidine, guanidine HCl, Niaproof 4, glucuronamide, tetrazolium blue, ppheylacetic acid and formic acid. In API 20NE, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, D-glucose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate and adipic acid were utilized; whereas reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid were not utilized. In the API 32GN test, L-rhamnose, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, sodium acetate, glycogen, D-glucose, propionic acid, valeric acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid were utilized; while N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, salicin, D-melibiose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, capric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and L-proline were not utilized. Strain BT 578 (= NIBRBAC000506206) was isolated from a soil sample from Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea .
