Description of Domibacillus indicus 17Sr1_17

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and long rod-shaped. Colonies are yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the BIOLOG GEN III, dextrin, D-maltose, D-trehalose, D-cellobiose, gentiobiose, sucrose, D-turanose, stachyose, D-raffinose, Dmelibiose, β -methyl-D-glucoside, D-salicin, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, α -D-glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, Dgalactose, L-rhamnose, inosine, D-sorbitol, D-mannitol, D-arabitol, myo-inositol, glycerol, L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-pyroglutamic acid, pectin, D-galacturonic acid, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-gluconic acid, D-glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, mucic acid, quinic acid, D-saccharic acid, L-lactic acid, citric acid, L-malic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid were utilized as sole carbon source. But acetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, D-fructose 6-PO 4, D-galactose, gelatin, α -keto-glutaric acid, 3-methyl glucose, propionic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-serine, N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, γ -amino-butryric acid, D-aspartic acid, bromo-succinic acid, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-glucose-6-PO 4, L-histidine, α -hydroxybutyric acid, β - hydroxy-D,L-butyric acid, p -hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, α -keto-butyric acid, D-lactic acid methyl ester, α -Dlactose, D-malic acid, methyl pyruvate, D-serine, and tween 40 are not utilized. In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced in the presence of pH 6, 1% NaCl, 4% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, potassium tellurite, and sodium butyrate but not 8% NaCl, guanidine HCl, lithium chloride, D-serine, tetrazolium violet, aztreonam, fusidic acid, lincomycin, minocycline, nalidixic acid, niaproof 4, pH 5, rifamycin SV, sodium bromate, tetrazolium blue, troleandomycin, and vancomycin.

Indole production is negative (API 20NE). In the API 20NE and ID 32GN systems, positive for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, L-rhamnose, N - acetyl-glucosamine, inositol, D-maltose, sodium acetate, L-alanine, glycogen, D-mannitol, salicin, D-melibiose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3- hydroxybutyric acid, and L-proline. Negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, capric acid, adipic acid, phenylacetic acid, D-ribose, Dsaccharose (sucrose), itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, lactic acid, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-glucose, D-fucose, propionic acid, capric acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.

Strain 17Sr1_17 (= NIBRBAC000500512) was isolated from a soil sample, Seoul, Nowon-gu Gongneung-dong, Korea.
