Description of Paracoccus thiocyanatus C-2

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, rodshaped, and aerobic. Colonies are round, convex, and cream colored after 3 days on TSA at 25℃. Positive for oxidase. Does not hydrolyze esculin and gelatin. Reduces nitrate to nitrite. Cannot produce acid from glucose. Does not produce indole. Does not possesses activity of arginine dihydrolase, β -galactosidase and urease. Assimilates glucose, arabinose, mannitol, and phenylacetic acid, but not mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid and trisodium citrate. Strain C-2 (= NNIBR2020641BA458) was isolated from sediment of the Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is MT871978.
