Description of Ekhidna lutea HMG 3441

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and yellow after incubation for 7 days on MA at 25°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase. Adipic acid is utilized as a sole carbon source; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, citrate, and phenyl-acetate are not. Strain HMG3441 (= NIBRBAC000509557) was isolated from a seawater sample at Gangneung, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
