Description of Deinococcus radiodurans CAU 1681

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and coccoid. Colonies are circular, smooth, convex with entire margin, and light orange colored after incubation for 3 days on GYE at 30° C. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and oxidase activity; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, and β -galactosidase activity. D-Maltose, potassium gluconate, and adipic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetylglucosamine, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain CAU 1681 (= NIBRBAC000509668) was isolated from a sea sand sample at Incheon, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea .
