Description of Metabacillus malikii LM 3308

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and white colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 37℃. In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reduction, indole production, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase activity; but negative for glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, gelatin hydrolysis, and oxidase activity. Potassium gluconate is utilized as a sole carbon source; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain LM3308 (= NIBR BAC000501180) was isolated from a gut sample of Swinhoe’s pheasant in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
