Description of Chryseobacterium profundimaris BT 43

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and yellow colored after incubation for 4 days on R 2A at 25℃. Positive for indole production, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis, but negative for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase urease, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE. D-Glucose and D-mannose are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not L-arabinose, D-maltose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, trisodium citrate, adipic acid, malic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT43 (= GFMCBAC000000055) was isolated from soil sampled at Peongchang, Gangwon-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BT43 is MH 934934.
