Description of Chryseobacterium aquaticum subsp. aquaticum 17_H6_F1

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth and yellow orange colored after aerobic incubation for 2-3 days on R2 A agar at 30℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for oxidase activity, esculin hydrolysis and gelatin hydrolysis. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, β-galactosidase activity and utilization of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N- acetylglucosamine,D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain 17_H6_F1 (= NIBRBAC000508793) was isolated from brackish water from Seoul, Korea .
