Description of Zhihengliuella halotolerans GHGM 7

The cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated and rod shaped. The colonies are circular, opaque, approximately and cream colored after incubation for seven days on MA at 20℃. Positive for nitrates reduction, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. D- Glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but capric acid and adipic acid are not. Strain GHGM7 (= HNIBRBA3048) was isolated from a halophyte sample, Goha-do (34°45′50.19″N, 126°22′14.06″E), Mokpo-si , Jeollanam-do, Korea .
