Description of Aeromicrobium endophyticum BT 764

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. When grown on R2 A plates at 25℃ for 3 days, colonies are white, circular, convex, and glistening. In the API 20NE test, the cells showed positive results for indole production and esculin hydrolysis. Conversely, they had negative results for nitrate reaction; D- glucose fermentation; arginine, urea, gelatin, and β -galactosidase hydrolysis; and D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium glutamate, caprate, adipate, malate, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid assimilation. Strain BT 764 (NIBRBAC000508 880) was isolated from soil in Jeju-si, Jeju-do, Republic of Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BT764 is OK012406 .
