Description of Cryobacterium arcticum A52

Cells are Gram­stain­positive, non­flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and yellow colored on TSA medium supplemented with 0.5% yeast extract after 48 h incubation at 15℃. Cells reduce nitrate to nitrite and are positive for β ­glucosidase, β ­galactosidase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol­AS­BI­phosphohydrolase, α ­galactosidase, β ­galactosidase, β ­glucuronidase, α ­glucosidase, β ­glucosidase (API 20NE/ ZYM). Assimilate D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, D­maltose, gluconate, salicin, D­melibiose, L­fucose, 2­ketogluconate, 3­hydroxy­butyrate, L­rhamnose, D­ribose, D­sucrose, lactate (API 20NE/ID 32GN) and utilize dextrin, D­maltose, D­trehalose, D­cellobiose, gentiobiose, sucrose, D-turanose, stachyose, D-raffinose, α ­D­lactose, D­melibiose, β ­D­glucoside, D­salicin, β ­ mannosamine, α ­D­glucose, D­mannose, D­fructose, Dgalactose, 6­methyl­glucose, D­fucose, L­fucose, L­rhamnose, D­sorbitol, D­mannitol, glycerol, D­fructose, L­arginine, L­glutamic acid, pyroglutamic acid, pectin, galacturonic acid, galactonic lactone, D­gluconic acid, D­glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, D­lactic acid, Tween40, acetoacetic acid, propionic acid and acetic acid as sole carbon sources (Biolog GEN III).

Strain A 52 (= NIBRBAC000503090) 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 68 mol %.
