Description of Isoptericola halotolerans 14MAJJD-20

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and ovoid or rod shaped. When grown on MA plates at 25℃ for 5 days, colonies are light greenish yellow, circular, glistening, and slightly convex. In the API 20NE test, the cells showed positive results for nitrate reaction; esculin, gelatin, and β -galactosidase hydrolysis; and D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, and potassium glutamate assimilation. Conversely, they had negative results for indole production; D- glucose fermentation; arginine and urea hydrolysis; and N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, caprate, adipate, malate, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid assimilation. Strain 14MAJJD-20 (NIBRBAC 000508916) was isolated from a tidal flat sample in Jang- heung-eup, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea. The Gen Bank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 14MAJJD-20 is OR226650.
