Description of Actinokineospora spheciospongiae HMG 3831

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod shaped arthrospores. When grown on R2A plates at 30℃ for 3 days, colonies are white, circular, umbonate, and mycelium penetrated. In the API 20NE test, the cells showed positive results for the hydrolysis of urea, esculin, and gelatin; and the assimilation of D- glucose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, malate, and phenylacetic acid. Conversely, they had negative results for nitrate reaction; indole production; D- glucose fermentation; arginine and β -galactosidase hydrolysis; and L- arabinose, D- mannose, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, caprate, adipate, potassium glutamate, and trisodium citrate assimilation. Strain HMG3831 (NIBRBAC 000508770) was isolated from a moss on Midongsan Mountain, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si, Republic of Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HMG3831 is OL347572.
