Description of Janthinobacterium rivuli BT 827

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening, violet, and white colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25°C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, urease, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-mannose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain BT827 (= NIBRBAC000509696) was isolated from a soil sample at Hoengseong, Republic of Korea.
