Description of Empedobacter haloabium MMS 22-GI34

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are punctiform, convex, entire, and yellow colored after incubation for 7 days on ISP7 at 30°C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for esculin hydrolysis and gelatinase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain MMS22-GI34 (= NIBRBAC000509470) was isolated from a soil sample at Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
