Description of Sandaracinobacter sibiricus EM 0359

Cells are Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped. Cell size is 1.0-1.2 μm. Colonies are circular, smooth, entire, and yellow pigmented after 3 days of incubation at 28°C on R2A. Positive for D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, adipate, malate, and citrate in API 20NE; but negative for nitrates to nitrite (NO - 3> NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates to nitrogen, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase (esculin hydrolysis), protease (gelatin hydrolysis), β -ga- lactosidase (PNPG), caprate, and phenyl-acetate. Utilizes D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, citrate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, D-maltose, suberate, malonate, lactate, 5-ketogluconate, and glycogen; but does not utilize D-melibiose, propionate, caprate, valerate, L-histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, itaconate, acetate, L-alanine, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine. Enzymatic activity reaction was positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, trypsin, α -chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, naphtol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, and β -glu- curonidase in API ZYM; but negative for lipase (C14), cystine arylamidase, α -galactosidase, β -galactosidase, β -glucuronidase, β -glucosidase, N -acetyl- β -glucosamin- idase, α -mannosidase, and α -fucosidase. Strain EM0359 (= NIBRBAC000509125) was isolated from a forest soil sample, Seoul, Korea.
