Description of Paraclostridium bifermentans HYN 0063

Cells are Gram-reaction-positive, flagellated, rod-shaped and approximately 0.4 × 1.6 μm in size. Colonies are irregular, mucoid, and pale yellow colored after 2 days of incubation on anaerobe basal agar at 30°C. Cells are strict anaerobes. Does not possess catalase or urease. Produces indole from L-tryptophan. Hydrolyzes esculin and gelatin. Produces acids from D-glucose, D-maltose, D-mannose, and D-sorbitol (weakly), but not from D-mannitol, D-lactose, D-saccharose, salicin, D-xylose, L-arabinose, glycerol, D-cellobiose, D-melezitose, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, or D-trehalose. Strain HYN0063 (KBA_23) was isolated from the underwater sediment of Jodaeneub Marshy Land, Korea.
