Description of Bacillus paranthracis 18JY8-13

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 N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, arginine dihydrolase, D-glucose, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, malic acid, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, trisodium citrate and urease are positive. L-arabinose, capric acid, β -galactosidase, glucose fermentation, indole production on tryptophan, D-mannitol, D-mannose, reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -) and reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2) are negative. In the API 32GN systems, utilization of 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-melibiose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4- hydroxybenzoic acid and L-proline are positive. capric acid was not utilized. G + C content for strain 18JY8-13 is 42.7%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation.

Strain 18JY8-13 (= NIBRBA0000116012 ) was isolat- ed from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea .
