Description of Pseudarthrobacter siccitolerans 17G9-4

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and short rod-shaped. Colonies are yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the BIOLOG GEN III, D-maltose, D-trehalose, D-cellobiolose, gentiobiose, sucrose, D-turanose, stachyose, D-raffinose, D-melibiose, β -D-glucoside, D-salicin, neuraminic acid, α -D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannitol, glycerol, L-histidine, D-gluconic acid, and L-malic acid are utilized as sole carbon source. But dextrin, α -D-lactose, N -glucosamine, β -mannosamin, N -galactosamin, D-mannose, D-galactose, 6-methyl-glucose, D-fucose, L-fucose, L-rhamnose, inosine, Dsorbitol, D-arabitol, myo-inositol, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-aspartic acid, D-serine, gelatin, glyctl-L-proline, Lalanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, pyroglutamic acid, L-serine, pectin, galacturonic acid, L-galactonic lactone, D-glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, mucic acid, quinic acid, D-saccharic acid, pheylacetic acid, methyl pyruvate, D-lactic acid, L-lactic acid, citric acid, α -glutaric acid, D-malic acid, succinic acid, tween 40, γ -butryric acid, α -butryric acid, β -butryric acid, acetoacetic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid are not utilized. In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced in the presence of pH 6, 1% NaCl, 4% NaCl, sodium lactate, D-serine, tetrazolium violet, nalidixic acid, lithium chloride, potassium tellurite, aztreonam, and sodium butyrate but not pH 5, 8% NaCl, fusidic acid, troleandomycin, rifamycin SV, minocycline, lincomycin, guanidine HCl, niaproof 4, vancomycin, tetrazolium blue and sodium bromate.

Nitrate reduction and indole production are negative (API 20NE). In the API 20NE and ID 32GN systems, positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, nositol, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-glucose, salicin, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-histidine, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Negative for glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycoGen, D-mannitol, D-melibiose, Larabinose, propionic acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, potassium 2-ketogluconate, and L-proline.

Strain 17G9_4 (= NIBRBAC000500499) was isolated from a soil sample, Gyeonggi-do, Pocheon-si, Soheuleup, Jikdong-ri, Korea.
