Description of Bacillus hisashii HYN 0081

Cells are Gram-reaction-positive, flagellated, rod-shaped and approximately 0.6 × 3.0 μm in size. Colonies are convex and pale yellow colored after 2 days of incubation on anaerobe basal agar at 30°C. Cells are facultative anaerobes. Possesses catalase, but not urease. Does not produce indole from L-tryptophan. Hydrolyzes esculin, but not gelatin. Produces acids from D-glucose, D-mannitol, D-lactose, D-saccharose, D-maltose, salicin, D-xylose, L-arabinose, glycerol, D-cellobiose, D-mannose, D-melezitose, D-raffinose, D-sorbitol, L-rhamnose, and D-trehalose. Strain HYN0081 (= KBA_38) was isolated from the underwater sediment of Jungnyeongcheon, Korea.
