Description of Chryseobacterium oleae K33R8

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and yellowish on R2A agar medium after 48 h incubation at 30℃. Cells reduce nitrate to nitrogen and are positive for arginine dihydrolase, β ­glucosidase, protease, alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, trypsin, acid phosphatase, naphthol­AS­BI­phosphohydrolase, α ­glucosidase, N ­acetyl­ β ­glucosaminidase (API 20NE/ZYM). Assimilate D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, D­maltose, gluconate, adipate, malate, citrate, L­histidine, L­proline, D­sucrose, acetate, glycogen (API 20NE/ID 32GN) and utilize dextrin, gentiobiose, D­turanose, D­melibiose, α ­D­glucose, D­mannose, D­fructose, D­galactose, 6­methyl­glucose, D­fucose, L­fucose, L­rhamnose, D­glucose, D­fructose, gelatin, L­histidine, galacturonic acid, galactonic lactone, D­glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, Tween40, acetoacetic acid and acetic acid as sole carbon sources (Biolog GEN III).

Strain K 33 R8 (= NIBRBAC000503075) was isolated from the gut of Korean dark chub ( Nipponocypris koreanus) at Hwasun, Jeollanam Province, Korea. The DNA G + C content of the type strain of the species is 38 mol %.
