Cho, Ja Young, Baek, Kiwoon, Kim, Eui-Jin, Han, Ji-Hye & Choi, Seoni Hwang and Ahyoung, 2020, A report on 14 unrecorded bacterial species isolated from the Nakdong River, South Korea, Journal of Species Research 9 (2), pp. 77-84 : 79

Description of Aquidulcibacter paucihalophilus 19MK03-0.1R-21

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are convex, smooth and yellow colored after 4 days of incubation at 25°C on R2A. Positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose is utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain 19MK03-0.1R-21 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Aquidulcibacter paucihalophilus TH 1-2 T (99.8%). Strain 19MK03- 0.1R-21 (= NNIBR2019643BA7) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MN540 833.
