Description of Chryseobacterium balustinum 16N2F1

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are smooth, convex, and yellow after incubation for 2 days on R2A at 30°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Mannose, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, citrate, and phenyl-acetate are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, and D-maltose are not. Strain 16N2F1 (= NIBRBAC000509484) was isolated from a sediment soil sample at Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
