Description of Agrobacterium pusense HMF 6701

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobic, flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies grown on marine agar are white, circular, convex and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, malate and trisodium citrate; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, gelatinase, and assimilation of capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain HMF6701 (= NIBRBAC000508755) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Wando, Republic of Korea (34°19 ʹ 36.9 ʺ N 126°49 ʹ 06.4 ʺ E) .
