Description of Catellatospora chokoriensis UTS 5-15

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, sporeforming, and rod-shaped. Colonies grown on Reasoner’s 2A agar (R2A) are circular, convex, smooth, and light-yellow colored after incubation 2-3 days at 30°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase, but negative for oxidase, reduction of nitrates, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and urease. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Stain UTS5-15 (= NNIBR2018 141BA11) was isolated from sediment of the Taehwagang River, Ulsan, Korea. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MK396583.
