Description of Leucobacter tardus LB 1-15

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, rodshaped, and aerobic. Colonies are round, convex, and cream yellow colored after 3 days on LB at 25℃. Negative for oxidase. Does not hydrolyze esculin and gelatin. Does not reduces nitrate to nitrite. Cannot produce acid from glucose. Does not produce indole. Does not possesses activity of arginine dihydrolase, β -galactosidase, and urease. Assimilates glucose (weakly), mannitol, potassium gluconate (weakly), malic acid, and trisodium citrate (weakly), but not arabinose, mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain LB1-15 (= NNIBR2020641BA457) was isolated from sediment of the Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is MT871979.
