Description of Comamonas odontotermitis 771

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are irregular, raised and beige colored on TSA medium supplemented with 0.5% yeast extract after 48 h incubation at 25℃. Cells reduce nitrate to nitrite and are positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol­AS­BI­phosphohydrolase (API ZYM). Assimilate D­mannitol, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, phenyl­acetate, propionate, valerate, L­histidine, 2­ketogluconate, 3­hydroxy­butyrate, 4­hydroxy­benzoate, L­proline, D­ribose, itaconate, suberate, acetate, lactate, L­alanine (API 20NE/ID 32GN) and utilize dextrin, D­galactose, 6­methyl­glucose, D­fucose, L­fucose, L­rhamnose, D­mannitol, D­arabitol, myo­inositol, glycerol, D­glucose, D­fructose, D­aspartic acid, L­alanine, Larginine, L­aspartic acid, L­glutamic acid, L­histidine, pyroglutamic acid, L­serine, galacturonic acid, galactonic lactone, D­gluconic acid, D­glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, phenylacetic acid, methyl pyruvate, D­lactic acid, L­lactic acid, α ­glutaric acid, D­malic acid, L­malic acid, succinic acid, Tween40, γ ­butyric acid, α ­butyric acid, β ­butyric acid, α ­butyric acid, acetoacetic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid and formic acid as sole carbon sources (Biolog GEN III).

Strain 771 (= NIBRBAC000503091) was isolated from the gut of Leopard mandarin fish ( Siniperca scherzeri ) at Chungju, Chungcheongbuk Province, Korea. The DNA G + C content of the type strain is 62 mol %.
