Description of Hymenobacter terrae 17gy_33

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and short rod-shaped. Colonies are pink-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25°C. In the BIOLOG GEN III, stachyose, D-mannitol, D-arabitol, glycerol, D-serine, L-glutamic acid, and pectins are utilized as sole carbon source. But acetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, D-cellobiose, dextrin, D-fructose, D-fructose 6-P,O4, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid, gelatin, gentiobiose, D-gluconic acid, α -D-glucose, glucuronamide, D-glucuronic acid, inosine, α -keto-glutaric acid, L-malic acid, D-maltose, D-mannose, D-melibiose, β - methyl-D-glucoside, 3-methyl glucose, myo-inositol, propionic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-pyroglutamic acid, quinic acid, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, L-serine, sucrose, D-trehalose, D-turanose, acetic acid, N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, N -acetyl-D-glucos amine, γ -amino-butryric acid, D-aspartic acid, bromo-succinic acid, citric acid, formic acid, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-glucose-6-PO 4, L-histidine, α -hydroxybutyric acid, β -hydroxy-D, L-butyric acid, p -hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, α -keto-butyric acid, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid methyl ester, α -D-lactose, D-malic acid, methyl pyruvate, mucic acid, D-saccharic acid, D-salicin, Dsorbitol, and tween 40 are not utilized. In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced in the presence of rifamycin SV, minocycline, tetrazolium violet, nalidixic acid, and aztreonam but not 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, guanidine HCl, lithium chloride, pH 6, potassium tellurite, D-serine, sodium butyrate, fusidic acid, lincomycin, niaproof 4, pH 5, sodium bromate, tetrazolium blue, troleandomycin, and vancomycin.

Indole production is negative (API 20NE). In the API 20NE and ID 32GN systems, positive for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, D-maltose, L-alanine, salicin, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, trisodium citrate. Negative for indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, D-glucose, Larabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, L-rhamnose, N - acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-saccharose (sucrose), itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, D-melibiose, D-fucose, propionic acid, valeric acid, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and L-proline.

Strain 17gy_33 (= NIBRBAC000500514) was isolated from a soil sample, Seoul, Nowon-gu Gongneung-dong, Korea.
