Description of Variovorax guangxiensis IMCC 34656

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, and convex after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive for nitrate reduction, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE. D-Glucose, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, malic acid, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, and trisodium citrate. Strain IMCC34656 (= NNIBRBA144) was isolated from a wetland water sample, the North Han River basin, Korea.
