Description of Flavobacterium branchiarum 18H3 V 6

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth, raised, and yellow colored after incubation for 2 days on MH at 30℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not L-arabinose, D-mannitol, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain 18H3 V 6 (= GFMCBAC 000000195) was isolated from soil sampled at Seoul. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 18H3 V 6 is MK 129279.
