Description of Leifsonia naganoensis HMG2992

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, motile with flagella, and rod shaped. When grown on R2A plates at 30℃ for 3 days, colonies are cream colored, circular, convex, and smooth. In the API 20NE test, the cells showed positive results for the fermentation of D- glucose; hydrolysis of esculin and β -galactosidase; assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium glutamate, and trisodium citrate. Conversely, they had negative results for the nitrate reaction; production of indole; hydrolysis of arginine, urea, and gelatin; assimilation of caprate, adipate, malate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain HMG2992 (NIBRBAC0005 08765) was isolated from the pine cone, at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Republic of Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HMG2992 is OL347567.
