Description of Slooffia cresolica PG 3-4-10C

Cells are oval shaped, and budding is polar ( Fig. 1 ). Colonies are convex, smooth, and beige with red after 3 days of incubation on YPD agar at 10°C. In the API 20C AUX test, strain PG3-4-10C is positive for 2-keto-D- gluconate, L- arabinose, glucose, D- xylose, D- sorbitol, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- cellobiose, D- lactose (bovine origin), D- maltose, D- melezitose, D- galactose, inositol, N -methyl-D- glucoside, D- saccharose (sucrose), and D- raffinose; weak positive for xylitol and D- trehalose; but negative for glycerol and adonitol.

Strain PG3-4-10C ( KACC 410363 ) was isolated from the soil collected in Daegu, Republic of Korea .
