Description of Asaia lannensis AF 11C3

(= KACC 22050)

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, nonpigmented and rod shaped (0.8-1.0 μm × 1.4-2.3 μm) after three days incubation on YPM medium at 28℃. Colonies are round, raised and brownish beige colored with a diameter of 1.0 mm. Catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Positive for glucose fermentation and aesculin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatin hydrolysis. According to API 20 NE test results, it assimilates D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol and potassium gluconate; but does not assimilate N -acetylglucosamine, D- maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. According to API 50 CH test results, acid is produced from glycerol, erythritol, L- arabinose, D- ribose, D- xylose, D- adonitol, D- galactose, D- glucose, D- fructose, D- mannose, L- sorbose, L- rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, D- mannitol, D- sorbitol, N -acetylglucosamine, D- melibiose, xylitol, gentiobiose, D- lyxose, D- tagatose, D- fucose, L- fucose, D- arabitol and L- arabitol; but not produced from D- arabinose, L- xylose, methyl- β -D- xylopyranoside, methyl- α -D- mannopyranoside, methyl- α - D- glucopyranoside, amygdalin, arbutin, esculin ferric citrate, salicin, D- cellobiose, D- maltose, D- lactose, D- saccharose, D- trehalose, inulin, D- melezitose, D- raffinose, amidon, glycogen, D- turanose, potassium gluconate, potassium 2-ketogluconate and potassium 5-ketogluconate. Strain AF11C3 (= KACC 22050) was isolated from plant Chrysanthemum zawadskii sampled at Jeongeup-si, Jeollabuk-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain AF11C3 is ON746592.
