Description of Microvirga subterranea 15J8-3

Cell is Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped. Colonies are pale yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the GN3 microplates, acetic acid, acetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-cellobiose, dextrin, D-fructose, D-fructose 6-PO4, L-fucose, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid, gelatin, gentiobiose, D-gluconic acid, α-D-glucose, D-glucose-6-PO4, glucuronamide, D-glucuronic acid, inosine, α-keto-glutaric acid, L-lactic acid, L-malic acid, D-maltose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, 3-methyl glucose, pectin, glycyl-L-proline, L-rhamnose, L-serine, D-sorbitol, stachyose, sucrose and D-turanose are utilized as sole carbon source. But N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, L-alanine, γ-amino-butryric acid, D-arabitol, L-arginine, D-aspartic acid, L-aspartic acid, bromo-succinic acid, citric acid, formic acid, D-fucose, L-glutamic acid, glycerol, L-histidine, α-hydroxybutyric acid, β-hydroxy-D,L-butyric acid, p-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, α-keto-butyric acid, Dlactic acid methyl ester, α-D-lactose, D-malic acid, Dmelibiose, β-methyl-D-glucoside, methyl pyruvate, mucic acid, myo-inositol, propionic acid, L-pyroglutamic acid, quinic acid, D-raffinose, D-saccharic acid, D-salicin, Dserine, D-trehalose and tween 40 are not utilized.

In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced at 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, fusidic acid, lincomycin, pH 6, potassium tellurite, sodium butyrate, tetrazolium blue, tetrazolium violet. But not in the presence of 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, aztreonam, guanidine HCl, lithium chloride, minocycline, nalidixic acid, niaproof, pH 5, rifamycin SV, D-serine, sodium bromate, troleandomycin and vancomycin. Strain 15J8-3 (= NIBRBAC 000499692) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea.
