Description of Formosa haliotis HMG 3257

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and cream after incubation for 2 days on MA at 25°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. L-Arabinose, D-mannose, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, citrate, and phenyl-acetate are not. Strain HMG3257 (= NIBRBAC000509544) was isolated from a seawater sample at Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
