Description of Epilithonimonas zeae 19_S1_T7

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are smooth, convex, and yellow after incubation for 2 days on R2A at 30°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-maltose, adipic acid, malic acid, and citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, gluconate, capric acid, and phenyl-acetate are not. Strain 19_S1_T7 (= NIBRBAC000509483) was isolated from a sediment soil sample at Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
