Description of Bacillus cereus 18JY15-3

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Colonies creamy white, mucoid, and translucent after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the API 20NE systems, utilization of arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, D-glucose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid andtrisodium citrate are positive. Reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, β -galactosidase, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, capric acid, adipic acid, phenylacetic acid are negative. In the API 32GN systems, D-melibiose, D-fucose, L-arabinose, capric acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-proline are negative. L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-saccharose, D-maltose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-sorbitol and propionic acid are utilized. G + C content for strain 18JY15-3 is 35.2%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation.

Strain 18JY15-3 (= NIBRBA0000116028 ) was isolat- ed from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea .
