DESCRIPTION OF PSEUDOCHROBACTRUM ALGERIENSIS SP. NOV.

Pseudochrobactrum algeriensis (al.ge.ri.en´sis. N.L. masc. adj. algeriensis of or belonging to Algeria, referring to the isolation place). Aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, non-motile and rod-shaped. Non-pigmented, beige colonies with regular edges with a diameter of about 2 mm. Good growth occurs at 18–38°C within 24–48h on TSA, nutrient agar, MacConkey and CPSE. In API 20NE tests, urease, cytochrome oxidase, citrate utilization and assimilation of D-glucose,D-mannose,L-malate, and N -acetylD -glucosamine are positive. Denitrification, indole production, D-glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, aesculin hydrolysis (β-glucosidase), gelatin hydrolysis (protease), β-galactosidase and assimilation of gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, phenylacetic acid, L-arabinose, maltose and D-mannitol are negative. The major fatty acids are C 18:0 and C 18:1. The polar lipid profile consists of the major compounds phosphatidylethanolamine, ornithine-lipids, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin and phosphatidylcholine, plus moderate amounts of PMME, PDME and other aminolipids.

The type strain is C130915_07 T (CECT 30232 T =LMG 32378 T) isolated from lymph nodes of an Algerian cow.
