Description of Pedobacter ruber 19SA03-R-9

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are smooth, round, convex, and red colored after seven days of incubation at 25°C on R2A. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. L-Arbinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, and phenylacetic acid are utilized. Does not utilize D-glucose and trisodium citrate. Strain 19SA03-R-9 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Pedobacter ruber W1 T (99.6%). Strain 19SA03-R-9 (= NNIBR2019643BA9) was isolat- ed from a freshwater sample of Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MN540836.
