Description of Bacillus paramycoides 18JY13-16

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 20NEsystems, utilization of arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, D-glucose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid and trisodium 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 and phenylacetic acid are negative. In the API 32GN systems, utilization of capric acid, itaconic acid, D-mannitol, capric acid, potassium 2-ketogluconate and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid are negative. L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, D-saccharose, D-maltose, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and L-proline are utilized. G + C content for strain 18JY13-16 is 41.6%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation.

Strain 18JY13-16 (= NIBRBA0000116013 ) was isolat- ed from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea .
