Description of Acetobacter orientalis FR 32C4

(= KACC 22370)

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, motile, non-pigmented and rod (0.8-1.0 μm × 1.5-2.4 μm) after 2 days incubation on YPM medium at 28℃. Colonies are round, raised and beige colored with a diameter of 0.5-1.0 mm. Catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Positive for urease and aesculin hydrolysis, but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase and gelatin hydrolysis. Does not assimilate any of the substrates embedded on API 20 NE test strip. Acid is produced from L-arabinose, D-ribose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose and D-fucose, and weakly produced from salicin and potassium 5-ketogluconate, but not produced from glycerol, erythritol, D-arabinose, L-xylose, D-adonitol, methylβ -D-xylopyranoside, D-fructose, L-sorbose, L-rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, methyl- α -D-mannopyranoside, methyl- α -D-glucopyranoside, N -acetylglucosamine, amygdalin, arbutin, esculin ferric citrate, D-cellobiose, D-maltose, D-lactose, D-melibiose, D-saccharose, D-trehalose, inulin, D-melezitose, Draffinose, amidon, glycogen, xylitol, gentiobiose, D-turanose, D-lyxose, D-tagatose, L-fucose, D-arabitol, L-arabitol, potassium gluconate and potassium 2-ketogluconate. Strain FR32C4 (= KACC 22370) was isolated from fruit of Cudrania tricuspidata sampled at Jeonju-si. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain FR32C4 is ON459610.
