Description of Flavobacterium nitratireducens IMCC 34944

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, round, and entire after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. Positive for oxidase, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, D-mannose, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC34944 (= NNIBR2018143BA595) was isolated from a freshwater sample, Gulpo Stream, Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
