Description of Deinococcus proteolyticus Strain 8

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and cocci-shaped. Colonies are orange-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the BIOLOG GEN III, sucrose, inosine, D-fructose, α -D-glucose, D-mannitol, L-histidine, and tween 40 are utilized as sole carbon source. But D-trehalose, D-cellobiose, gentiobiose, stachyose, D-raffinose, D-galactose, D-sorbitol, glycerol, D-serine, L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, L-serine, D-gluconic acid, D-glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, propionic acidacetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, dextrin, D-fructose 6-PO 4, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galacturonic acid, gelatin, L-glutamic acid, α -keto-glutaric acid, Lmalic acid, D-maltose, D-mannose, D-melibiose, β - methyl-D-glucoside, 3-methyl glucose, myo-inositol, pectin, glycyl-L-proline, L-pyroglutamic acid, quinic acid, L-rhamnose, D-turanose acetic acid, N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, γ -amino-butryric acid, D-arabitol, D-aspartic acid, bromo-succinic acid, citric acid, formic acid, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-glucose-6-PO 4, α -hydroxybutyric acid, β -hydroxy-D,L-butyric acid, p -hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, α -keto-butyric acid, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid methyl ester, α -D-lactose, D-malic acid, methyl pyruvate, mucic acid, D-saccharic acid, and D-salicin are not utilized. In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye was reduced in the presence of 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, lithium chloride, pH 6, nalidixic acid, and rifamycin SV but not potassium tellurite, aztreonam, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, guanidine HCl, D-serine, sodium butyrate, tetrazolium violet fusidic acid, lincomycin, minocycline, niaproof 4, pH 5, sodium bromate, tetrazolium blue, troleandomycin, and vancomycin.

In the API 20NE, positive for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), arginine dihydrolase, D-glucose, and esculin hydrolysis. Negative for indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, urease, D-mannose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid, and L-arabinose.

Strain8 (= NIBRBAC000500528) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju-do, Korea.
