Description of Flavobacterium nitrogenifigens HYN 0034

Cells are Gram-reaction-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are irregular, opaque, mucoid, and yellow colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25 °C. Possesses oxidase and β -galactosidase activities, but not urease or arginine dihydrolase activities. Hydrolyzes esculin and gelatin. Reduces nitrate. Does not produce indole. Does not ferment glucose. Uses D-glucose, Larabinose, D-mannose, D-maltose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate as carbon sources, but not D-mannitol, capric acid or phenylacetic acid. Strain HYN0034 (= IHBA_31) was isolated from a water sample, Hapcheonho lake, Korea.
