Description of Alcaligenes aquatilis 17H7M7

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and coccobacilli shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and cream colored after incubation for 2 days on R2 A at 30° C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for esculin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase. Capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, and adipic acid are not. Strain 17H7M7 (= NIBRBAC000509479) was isolated from a sediment soil sample at Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea .
