Description of Marinobacter persicus MSP 4

Strain MSP4 (= CYQTBAC000000066) was isolated from marine sediment in Mosulpo, Jeju, Korea. MSP4 cells are Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped (1.0 × 1.5 μm). The colonies are circular, convex, and yellow colored after 2 days of incubation on MA at 30°C. Cells are positive for oxidase and catalase activity, and negative for indole production and glucose acidification. Also, cells show positive activity for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, α-chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, and Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, but negative activity for arginine dihydrolase, urease, β-glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), protease (gelatin hydrolysis), β-galactosidase (PNPG), lipase (C14), valine arylamidase, trypsin, α-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase, α-glucosidase, N -acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, and α-fucosidase. Moreover, cells are positive for utilization of D-glucose, L-arabinose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, gluconate, caprate, malate, citrate, L-histidine, and L-proline, but negative for utilization of D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, adipate, phenyl-acetate, salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, propionate, valerate, 2-ketogluconate, 3-hy- droxy-butyrate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, itaconate, suberate, malonate, acetate, lactate, L-alanine, 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine as energy and carbon source.
