Description of Duganella levis MMS 21­YDR2

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, rod shaped, and flagellated. After 3 days at 30℃ on R2 A medium, colonies are circular, convex, entire, and white colored. The result from the API 20NE tests show positive for glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, and β ­galactosidase. D- Glucose, L- arabinose, and D- maltose are utilized; but not D- mannose, D- mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, capric acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain MMS21 ­ YDR2 (= NIBRBAC000508737 ) was isolated from soil in Taepyeong­dong (36°19 ʹ 08.1 ʺ N, 127°23 ʹ 04.1 ʺ E), Jung­gu , Daejeon, Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MMS21 ­YDR2 have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers OK335743 .
