Description of Chryseobacterium bernardetii L3J1-11

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated and rod shaped. The colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening and yellow colored after incubation for seven days on R2 A agar at 25℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrates reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. Potassium gluconate and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain L3J1-11 (= HNIBRBA4517) was isolated from a soil sample, Seogwipo-si (33°19′32.92″N, 126°50′ 23.71″E), Jeju-do, Korea .
