Description of Microbacterium terricola HYN 0002

Cells are Gram-reaction-positive, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, glistening, mucoid, and yellow colored after 2 days of incubation on R2A at 25 °C. Possesses oxidase and β -galactosidase activities, but not arginine dihydrolase or urease activities. Hydrolyzes esculin and gelatin. Does not reduce nitrate. Does not produce indole. Does not ferment glucose. Uses D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, and malic acid as sole carbon source, but not N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, or phenylacetic acid. Strain HYN 0002 (= IHBA_21) was isolated from fresh water, Jinyangho lake, Korea.
