Description of Bacillus safensis subsp. safensi ST 10-2

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed, and rod shaped. Colonies are white, circular, slightly convex, and glistening after incubation for 3 days on R2A plates at 25°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, and N -acetyl- β -glucosamine are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-maltose, potassium glutamate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain ST10-2 (= NIBRBAC000509709) was isolated from a soil sample at Hoengseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
