Description of Sphingomonas yantingensis IMCC 34658

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, and raised after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC34658 (= NNIBRBA145) was isolated from a wetland water sample, the North Han River basin, Korea.
