Description of Mycobacterium poriferae GH 1-18

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and orange colored after 7 days on MA at 30°C. Nitrate is not reduced and esculin is not hydrolyzed. The strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of urease, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, and arginine dihydrolase, whereas the strain shows positive reaction for enzyme activity of oxidase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes malic acid and weakly utilizes D-mannitol, whereas the strain does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain GH1-18 (= NIBRBAC000501032) was isolated from tidal flat sediment, Incheon, Korea.
