Description of Hydrogenophaga aromaticivorans AS 624

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are round, entire, convex, and cream colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 30°C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain AS 624 (= NIBRBAC000509513) was isolated from a wetland sample at Anseong, Republic of Korea.
