Description of Chromobacterium piscinae MMS 22-SS45

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are punctiform, convex, entire, and pale yellow colored after incubation for 7 days on SCA at 30°C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, urease, and β -galactosidase. Weakly positive reaction is obtained for esculin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain MMS22-SS45 (= NIBRBAC000509458) was isolated from a soil sample at Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
