Description of Mucilaginibacter terrenus HMG 3746

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth and orange colored after aerobic incubation for three days on R2 A agar at 30℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for oxidase activity, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase activity, and utilization of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, N- acetylglucosamine andD- maltose. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, and utilization of D- mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain HMG3746 (= NIBRBAC000508769) was isolated from moss from Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, Korea .
