Description of Paeniclostridium sordellii CAU 1572

Gram-stain-positive, anaerobic, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.1-0.2 μm wide, 0.6-0.7 μm long). Colonies grown on nutrient agar are cream, circular, convex, smooth, and shiny. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for gelatin hydrolysis; and assimilation of D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, malic acid, and trisodium citrate, but negative for nitrate reduction; indole production; glucose fermentation; aesculin hydrolysis; activity of arginine dihydrolase, urease, and β -galactosidase; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain CAU 1572 (= NIBRBAC000503244) was isolated from a seashore soil sample collected from Yeosu , Republic of Korea (34°43 ʹ 49.8 ʺ N, 127°43 ʹ 58.2 ʺ E).
