Description of Tessaracoccus oleiagri L-80

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, rodshaped, and aerobic. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and cream colored after 3 days on LB at 25℃. Negative for oxidase. Hydrolyzes esculin, but not gelatin. Reduces nitrate to nitrite. Cannot produce acid from glucose. Does not produce indole. Possesses activity of β -galactosidase, but not arginine dihydrolase and urease. Assimilates mannitol, maltose and potassium gluconate, but not glucose, arabinose, mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain L-80 (= NNIBR2020641BA455) was isolated from sediment of the Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is MT871981.
