Description of Cutibacterium acnes HYN 0073

Cells are Gram-reaction-positive, non-flagellated, rod-shaped and approximately 0.4 × 1.89 μm in size. Colonies are mucoid, convex, and pale yellow colored after 3 days of incubation on anaerobe basal agar at 30°C. Cells are strict anaerobes. Possesses catalase, but not urease. Does not produce indole from L-tryptophan. Hydrolyzes gelatin, but not esculin. Produces acids from D-glucose, glycerol, D-mannose, and D-sorbitol, but not from D-mannitol, D-lactose, D-saccharose, D-maltose, salicin, D-xylose, L-arabinose, D-cellobiose, D-melezitose, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, or D-trehalose. Strain HYN0073 (KBA_32) was isolated from the underwater sediment of Sainam Valley, Korea.
