Description of Hymenobacter algoricola 04KS1-21

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth and pink-colored after 3 days on R2A agar at 20°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase and β -galactosidase, but negative for indole production, nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and urease. D-Glucose and D-maltose are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. The strain 04KS1-21 (= NNIBRBA 58) was isolated from freshwater sediment of Geomryeongso (origin of Han River), Taebaek, Korea.
