Description of Sphingobium fuliginis AS 227

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and oval shaped. Colonies are round, entire, raised, and yellow after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 28°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for cytochrome oxidase, gelatin hydrolysis, urease, and β -galactosidase; but negative for esculin hydrolysis, indole production, glucose fermentation, nitrate reduction, and arginine dihydrolase. Glucose, mannitol, mannose, arabinose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, malic acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, and potassium gluconate are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain AS 227 (= NIBRBAC000509504) was isolated from a wetland sample at Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
