Description of Priestia taiwanensis GHH 55

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, flat, smooth, and cream yellow-colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 20℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrates reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine hydrolysis, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. L- Arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as a sole carbon source. Strain GHH55 (= HNIBRBA38) was isolated from seawater collected off Goha-do (34°45 ʹ 55 ʺ N, 126°22 ʹ 23 ʺ E), Mokpo , Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain GHH55

is OL742661.
