Description of Pararhodobacter zhoushanensis KJ 81-7

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular and light yellow after incubation for 2 days on MA at 20 - 35°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for cytochrome oxidase, nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, urease, and arginine dihydrolase; but negative for glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and indole production. Arabinose, glucose, mannitol, malic acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while mannose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and capric acid are not. Strain KJ81- 7 (= NIBRBAC000509605) was isolated from a marine algae sample at Gwangjin-ri, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
