Description of Williamsia phyllosphaerae 17J72-9

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and orange colored after 4 days on R2 A at 25° C. Nitrate is not reduced and esculin is hydrolyzed. The strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of gelatinase and β -galactosidase, whereas the strain shows positive reactions for enzymes activities of urease and arginine dihydrolase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes D-glucose, D-maltose, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, malic acid, and trisodium citrate, whereas the strain does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 17J72-9 (= NIBRBAC000501341) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea.
