Description of Flavobacterium piscis IMCC 25663

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, rod, and aerobic. Colonies grown on R2A are circular, convex, entire, and yellow-pigmented. Positive for β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatinase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconic acid, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain IMCC25663 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Flavobacterium piscis 412R-09 T (99.1%). Strain IMCC25663 (= IHBA_14) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Lake Soyang. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is KY053187.
