Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are cream-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2 A at 30° C. In API 20NE test, positive for esculin hydrolysis and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and potassium gluconate. D- Glucose, D- mannose, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- maltose, malic acid, and trisodium citrate were utilized; whereas L- arabinose, D- mannitol, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid were not utilized. Strain MA7 (= NIBRBAC000506142) was isolated from a soil sample from Ecological Park in Godeok-dong , Gangdong-gu, Seoul, Korea .
