Description of Enterococcus phoeniculicola 772

Cells are Gram­stain­positive, non­flagellated and coccus shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and white colored on TSA medium supplemented with 0.5% yeast extract after 48 h incubation at 25℃. Cells are positive for arginine dihydrolase, β ­galactosidase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol­AS­BI­phosphohydrolase, β ­galactosidase, α ­glucosidase, β ­glucosidase (API 20NE/ZYM) and assimilate D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, D­maltose, salicin, D­ribose, D­sucrose (API 20NE/ ID 32GN). Utilize dextrin, D­maltose, D­trehalose, D­cellobiose, gentiobiose, D­turanose, stachyose, α ­D­lactose, D­melibiose, β ­D­glucoside, D­salicin, N ­glucosamine, N ­galactosamine, α ­D­glucose, D­mannose, D­fructose, D­galactose, L­fucose, L­rhamnose, D­fructose, pectin, galactonic lactone, D­gluconic acid, D­glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, citric acid, L­malic acid, succinic acid, β ­butyric acid, α ­butyric acid and acetoacetic acid as sole carbon sources (Biolog GEN III).

Strain 772 (= NIBRBAC000503082) 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 36 mol %.
