Description of Virgibacillus kapii MMS 22-M6-3-16

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, aerobic, and rod shaped. Colonies are yellow, circular, raised, and undulate when incubated for 7 days on MA plates at 25°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and urease. Potassium gluconate is utilized as a sole carbon source; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl- β -glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain MMS22-M6-3-16 (= NIBRBAC000509453) was isolated from a soil sample at Gangneung, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
