Cells are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed, and rod shaped. Colonies are yellowish, punctiform, convex, and entire after incubation for 7 days on SCA plates at 30°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reaction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. N -Acetyl- β -glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium glutamate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are not. Strain MMS22-S4-21 (= NIBRBAC000509455) was isolated from a soil sample at Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea.
