Description of Herbaspirillum aquaticum LR-14

Cells are Gram negative and rod shaped. Grows on TSA at 30°C. Colonies are white colored, and undulate, smooth. Based on API20NE, cytochrome oxidase, β-glucosidase, protease and β-galactosidase activities are positive, but nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase and urease activities are negative. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D­mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are assimilated, but not D-maltose. Strain LR-14 (= NIBRBA 0000114808) was isolated from freshwater pond. The 16S rRNA gene sequence accession number is KP182165.
