Description of Cellulomonas massiliensis BE 15

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. When grown on R2A plates at 30℃ for 3 days, colonies are pale yellow, round, entire, and raised. In the API 20NE test, the cells showed positive results for nitrate reaction; D- glucose fermentation; esculin and β -galactosidase hydrolysis; and D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, D- maltose, and potassium glutamate assimilation. Conversely, they had negative results for indole production; arginine, urea, and gelatin hydrolysis; and caprate, adipate, malate, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid assimilation. Strain BF15 (NIBRBAC000508776) was isolated from Godeok Waterfront Ecological Park, Republic of Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BE15 is MW164957.
