Description of Pseudomonas benzenivorans CAU 1519

The cells are gram-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are cream-colored, convex, smooth, and irregular after incubation on R2A plates at 30℃ for 2 days under aerobic conditions. It is positive for esculin hydrolysis (weak), gelatinase, and utilization of glucose, mannitol, maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, and trisodium citrate (weak); but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β-galactosidase, and utilization of arabinose, mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid, per the analysis using the API 20NE kit. However, the result for the presence of cytochrome oxidase is not available. Strain CAU 1519 (= NIBRBAC 000503226) was isolated from sand in Jung-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, Republic of Korea.
