Description of Deinococcus yunweiensis 17SD1_21

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and short rod-shaped. Colonies are orange-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the BIOLOG GEN III, D-mannitol, and acetoacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon source. But N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, Lalanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, D-cellobiose, dextrin, D-fructose, D-fructose 6-PO 4, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid, gelatin, gentiobiose, D-gluconic acid, α -D-glucose, glucuronamide, D-glucuronic acid, L-glutamic acid, inosine, α -keto-glutaric acid, L-malic acid, D-maltose, D-mannose, Dmelibiose, β -methyl-D-glucoside, 3-methyl glucose, myo-inositol, pectin, propionic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-pyroglutamic acid, quinic acid, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, L-serine, stachyose, sucrose, D-trehalose, 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, Dglucose-6-PO 4, glycerol, L-histidine, 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, D-salicin, Dserine, D-sorbitol, and tween 40 are not utilized. In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced in the presence of 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, guanidine HCl, lithium chloride, pH 6, potassium tellurite, D-serine, sodium butyrate, tetrazolium violet, aztreonam, fusidic acid, lincomycin, minocycline, nalidixic acid, niaproof 4, pH 5, rifamycin SV, sodium bromate, tetrazolium blue, troleandomycin, and vancomycin.

Indole production is negative (API 20NE). In the API 20NE and ID 32GN systems, positive for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, and D-sorbitol. Weak reaction observed with gelatin hydrolysis. Negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, Lalanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, D-fucose, L-arabinose, propionic acid, capric acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4- hydroxybenzoic acid, and L-proline.

Strain 17SD1_21 (= NIBRBAC000500511) was isolated from a soil sample, Seoul, Nowon-gu Gongneung-dong, Korea.
