Description of Pedobacter borealis BO 167

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth, convex, and pale pink colored after incubation for 3 days on R 2A at 25℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-mannitol, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain BO167 (= GFMCBAC 000000256) was isolated from soil sampled at Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BO167 is MK 201774.
