Description of Granulosicoccus coccoides WSW-MW 5

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and coccus-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, glistening, and cream colored after 5 days on MA at 25°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatinase. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain WSS-MW5 (= NIBRBA0000114008) has been isolated from a seawater sample, Wando, Korea.
