Description of Acinetobacter modestus 17_H6_M9

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, coccus shaped, and nonflagellated. After 2-3 days at 30℃ on R2 A medium, colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and white colored. The result from the API 20NE tests show positive for esculin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, cytochrome oxidase, β ­galactosidase, and gelatinase. Capric acid and malic acid are utilized; but not D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, D- glucose, L- arabinose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 17_H6_ M9 (= NIBRBAC000508788 ) was isolated from brackish water in Gaehwa­dong (37°60 ʹ 04.8 ʺ N, 126°80 ʹ 92.4 ʺ E), Gangseo­gu , Seoul, Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 17_H6_M9 have been deposited in GenBank un­ der accession numbers OR367259 .
