Description of Microbacterium flavum KR 3

Cells are aerobic, Gram­staining­positive, non­flagellated and ovoid or rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on R2 A agar at 25℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for hydrolysis of esculin, β-galactosidase activity and utilization of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D­maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid and trisodium citrate. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, hydrolysis of gelatin, oxidase activity and utilization of L-arabinose, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain KR3 (= NIBRBAC000503401) was isolated from salted, fermented scallop (jeotgal) in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, Korea (37°0′39.15″N 127°15′50.82″E).
