Description of Sphingobium xenophagum MMS 22-PI21

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are punctiform, convex, entire, and yellow after incubation for 7 days on ISP7 at 30°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for cytochrome oxidase, β -galactosidase, and esculin hydrolysis; but negative for indole production, gelatin hydrolysis, glucose fermentation, nitrate reduction, arginine dihydrolase, and urease. Malic acid (weak) and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while glucose, capric acid, mannitol, adipic acid, mannose, arabinose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, and potassium gluconate are not. Strain MMS22-PI21 (= NIBRBAC000509469) was isolated from a soil sample at Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea.
