Description of Mycolicibacterium tusciae SY 1 (iv-2)

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped with 0.9-1.0 × 1.4-1.6 μm in size. Colonies are circular, moist, undulate and white colored after three days of incubation at 25℃ on R2A. The strain is positive for reduction of nitrates to nitrite, assimilation of D- mannitol, gluconate, and malate; but negative for indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), protease (gelatin hydrolysis), β -galactosidase (PNPG), D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, N - acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- malt- ose, caprate, adipate, citrate, and phenyl-acetate.
