Description of Lelliottia amnigena R-6

The cells are gram-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are cream-colored, opaque, raised, and punctiform after incubation on R2 A plates at 37℃ for 3 days under aerobic conditions. It is positive for nitrate reduction, indole production (weak), glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase, and utilization of glucose, arabinose, mannose, mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, maltose potassium gluconate, malic acid, and trisodium citrate; but negative for gelatinase and utilization of capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid, per the analysis using the API 20NE kit. However , the result for the presence of cytochrome oxidase is not available. Strain R-6 (= NIBRBAC000503386) was isolated from soil in Yangcheon-ri , Ganjeon-myeon, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea .
