Description of Mesorhizobium amorphae IMCC 25632

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, short rod, and aerobic. Colonies grown on R2A are circular, convex, entire, and white. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatinase. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine and D-maltose are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, gluconic acid, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC25632 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Mesorhizobium amorphae ACCC 19665 T (100%). Strain IMCC25632 (= IHBA_16) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Lake Soyang. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is KY053155.
