Description of Deinococcus depolymerans HYN 0037

Cells are Gram-reaction-positive, non-flagellated, and cocci-shaped. Colonies are circular with entire margin, convex, and pink-red colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A agar at 25°C. Possesses oxidase, urease, and β -galactosidase activities, but not arginine dihydrolase activity. Does not reduce nitrate. Does not produce indole. Does not ferment glucose. Hydrolyzes esculin and gelatin. Uses D-glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, and malic acid as sole carbon source, but not L-arabinose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, or phenylacetic acid.
