Description of Psychrobacter okhotskensis 216MGM6

Cell is Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are pale yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on Marine Agar at 25°C. In the GN3 microplates, acetic acid, acetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, L-alanine, γ-amino-butryric acid, D-arabitol, L-arginine, D-aspartic acid, L-aspartic acid, D-cellobiose, dextrin, D-fructose, D-fructose 6-PO4, D-fucose, Lfucose, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid, gentiobiose, D-gluconic acid, α-D-glucose, D-glucose-6-PO4, glucuronamide, D-glucuronic acid, L-glutamic acid, glycerol, L-histidine, α-hydroxybutyric acid, β-hydroxy-D,L-butyric acid, α-keto-glutaric acid, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid methyl ester, D-malic acid, L-malic acid, D-maltose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, Dmelibiose, β-methyl-D-glucoside, 3-methyl glucose, methyl pyruvate, mucic acid, propionic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-pyroglutamic acid, quinic acid, L-rhamnose, D-saccharic acid, D-salicin, L-serine, D-sorbitol, sucrose, D-trehalose, D-turanose and tween 40 are utilized as sole carbon source. But N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, bromo-succinic acid, citric acid, formic acid, gelatin, p-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, inosine, α-keto-butyric acid, α-D-lactose, myo-inositol, pectin, D-raffinose, D-serine and stachyose are not utilized.

In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced at 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, lincomycin, lithium chloride, pH 6, potassium tellurite, rifamycin SV, sodium butyrate, tetrazolium blue and tetrazolium violet. But not in the presence of aztreonam, fusidic acid, guanidine HCl, minocycline, nalidixic acid, niaproof, pH 5, D-serine, sodium bromate, troleandomycin and vancomycin. Strain 216MGM6 (= NIBR BAC000499698) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea.
