Description of Lysinibacillus odysseyi EM 0665

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Cell size is 4.6-4.8 μm. Colonies are circular, smooth, entire, and white pigmented after 3 days of incubation at 28°C on R2A. Positive for reduction of glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, and β -Glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis) in API 20NE; but negative for nitrates to nitrite (NO 3 ->NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates to nitrogen, indole production, urease, protease (gelatin hydrolysis), β -galactosidase (PNPG), D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate, and phenyl-acetate. Utilizes 3-hydroxy-butyrate, acetate, and L-alanine; but does not utilize D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionate, caprate, valerate, citrate, L-histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 4-hy- droxy-benzoate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-D-glu- cosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, D-maltose, itaconate, suberate, malonate, lactate, 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine. Enzymatic activity reaction was positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase Lipase (C8), naphtol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, and β -glucosidase in API ZYM; but negative for lipase (C14), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, α -chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, α -galactosidase, β -galactosidase, β -glucu- ronidase, α -glucosidase, N -acetyl- β -glucosaminidase, α -mannosidase, and α -fucosidase. Strain EM0665 (= NIBRBAC000509127) was isolated from an agricultural soil sample, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea.
