Description of Isoptericola nanjingensis RS 5-5_B

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated and coccoid­shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, smooth and light yellow­colored after 2 days on R2A at 30°C. Positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase in API 20NE, and negative reactions are obtained for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatinase. D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D­maltose and potassium gluconate are utilized. Does not utilize capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain RS5­5_B (= NIBRBA0000113943) was isolated from a sample of ginseng field, Iljuk, Anseong, Korea.
