Description of Herbaspirillum huttiense subsp. putei MMS 22-18

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are irregular, raised, undulate, and yellow colored after incubation for 7 days on SCA at 30°C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, and β -galactosidase. Weakly positive reaction is obtained for esculin hydrolysis. N -Acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain MMS22-18 (= NIBRBAC000509459) was isolated from a soil sample at Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
