Description of Azospirillum massiliensis GHA 1

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and yellow-colored after incubation for 3 days on R2 A at 20℃. Positive for nitrates reduction, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production and glucose fermentation in API 20NE. D- Glucose, D- mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, and malic acid are utilized as a sole carbon source; but not L- arabinose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain GHA1 (= HNIBRBA272) was isolated from aquaculture water collected from a shrimp farm (34°41 ʹ 29 ʺ N, 126°22 ʹ 21 ʺ E), Haenam , Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain GHA1 is OL742670 .
