Description of Flavobacterium reichenbachii KS 1-10

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth and light yellow-colored after 3 days on R2A agar at 25°C. Positive for urease and arginine dihydrolase, but negative for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, indole production, gelatinase and glucose fermentation. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, malic acid and adipic acid are utilized. Does not utilize D-mannose, D-maltose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. The strain KS1-10 (= NNIBRBA 55) was isolated from freshwater sediment of Geomyeongso (origin of Han Riv- er), Taebaek, Korea.
