Description of Leucobacter triazinivorans G12R3

Cells are Gram­stain­positive, non­flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and yellow colored on TSA medium after 48 h incubation at 25℃. Cells are positive for esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol­AS­BI­phosphohydrolase (API ZYM) and assimilate D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, N ­acetyl­D­glucosamine, D­maltose, adipate, citrate, phenyl­acetate, L­fucose, propionate, L­histidine, L­proline, L­rhamnose, inositol, acetate, L­alanine (API 20NE/ID 32GN). Utilize dextrin, phenylacetic acid, methyl pyruvate, Tween40, α ­butyric acid, acetoacetic acid, propionic acid and acetic acid as sole carbon sources (Biolog GEN III).

Strain G 12 R3 (= NIBRBAC000503077) was isolated from the gut of gazami crab ( Portunus trituberculatus) at Taean, Chungcheongnam Province, Korea. The DNA G + C content of the type strain is 73 mol %.
