Description of Dermacoccus abyssi HMG2333

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and coccoid shaped. When grown on R2A plates at 30℃ for 3 days, colonies are yellow, convex, circular, and smooth. In the API 20NE test, the cells showed positive results for gelatin hydrolysis; and D- glucose, D- maltose, potassium glutamate, and malate assimilation. Conversely, they had negative results for nitrate reaction; arginine, urea, esculin, and β -galactosidase hydrolysis; indole production; D- glucose fermentation; and L- arabinose, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, D- mannose, D- mannitol, caprate, adipate, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid assimilation. Strain HMG2333 (NIBRBAC000508759) was isolated from soil at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si, Republic of Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HMG2333 is OL347 561.
