Description of Acetobacter thailandicus JDF 1-M1

(= KACC 22693)

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-pigmented and rod or long rod (0.9-1.2 μm × 2.0-8.0 μm) after 2 days incubation on YPM medium at 28℃. Colonies are round, raised and beige colored with a diameter of 1.0 mm. Catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Positive for aesculin hydrolysis, but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatin hydrolysis. Does not assimilate any of the substrates embedded on API 20 NE test strip. Acid is produced from L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-melibiose, D-fucose and potassium 5-ketogluconate, and weakly produced from D-ribose, but not produced from glycerol, erythritol, D-arabinose, L-xylose, D-adonitol, methyl- β -D-xylopyranoside, D-fructose, L-sorbose, L-rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, methyl- α -D-mannopyranoside, methyl- α -D-glucopyranoside, N -acetylglucosamine, amygdalin, arbutin, esculin ferric citrate, salicin, D-cellobiose, D-maltose, D-lactose, D-saccharose, D-trehalose, inulin, D-melezitose, D-raffinose, amidon, glycogen, xylitol, gentiobiose, D-turanose, D-lyxose, D-tagatose, L-fucose, D-arabitol, L-arabitol, potassium gluconate and potassium 2-ketogluconate. Strain JDF1-M1 (= KACC 22693) was isolated from plum fruit sampled at Seoul. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain JDF1-M1 is ON459613.
