Description of Fictibacillus solisalsi MBLB2441

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, flagellated, and short rod-shaped cells with 0.9-1.1 μm in width by 1.4-1.9 μm in length. Colonies are white-cream, circular, and convex after two days of incubation on R2 A at 30℃. Catalase and oxidase activities are negative. Growth occurs in the 20-40℃ (optimum, 30℃) at 0-4% NaCl (optimum, 2%) at pH 5.0-12.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). In API 20NE test, positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase activity; but negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production, D- glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, and gelatin hydrolysis. In API 32GN test, D- mannitol, D- glucose, D- melibiose, L- fucose, L- arabinose, propionate, valerate, L- histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 3- hydroxy-butyrate, L- proline, N - acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- ribose, D- sucrose, D- maltose, acetate, L- alanine, glycogen, and L- serine are utilized; but salicin, D- sorbitol, caprate, citrate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L- rhamnose, inositol, itaconate, suberate, malonate, lactate, 5-ketogluconate, and 3-hydroxy-benzoate are not utilized as a sole energy source. The NCBI accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OP080646. Strain MBLB2441 (= NIBR BAC000509759 ) was isolated from a marine sediment from East Sea , Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea (36° 42′21.8″N, 129°35′0.7″E) .
