Description of Oceanisphaera psychrotolerans GPSW-R9

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are yellowish white colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reduction and arginine dihydrolase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Mannose is utilized as a sole carbon source; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain GPSW-R9 (= NIBRBAC000509652) was isolated from a soil sample at Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea.
