Description of Nocardioides exalbidus 17J48-16

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and cream colored after 4 days on R2 A at 25° C. Nitrate is not reduced and esculin is hydrolyzed. The strain shows positive reactions for enzyme activities of arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes D-glucose, D-mannose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, and malic acid, whereas the strain does not utilize adipic acid, capric acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 17J48-16 (= NIBRBAC000501342) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea.
