Description of Serratia quinivorans GM22

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, nonpigmented and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, opaque, smooth, convex and cream colored after incubation for 1 day on LB at 25℃. Positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase, but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not adipic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain GM22 (= NIBRBAC000498486) was isolated from a Tenebrio molitor sample, Gokseong, Korea.
