Description of Brachybacterium faecium 19_H4_S14

Cells are gram-stain-positive and coccoid rod shaped. Colonies are small, convex, smooth, and cream colored after incubation for 2 days on R2 A at 30° C. In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase. Potassium gluconate and adipic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain 19_H4_S14 (= NIBRBAC000509482) was isolated from a sediment soil sample at Seoul, Republic of Korea .
