Description of Psychrosphaera aquimarina 15G1­13

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, rod shaped, and flagellat­ ed. After 2 days at 4-30℃ on MA medium, colonies are circular, and white colored. The result from the API 20NE tests show positive for esculin hydrolysis, β ­galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatinase. D- Mannose, D- mannitol, D- glucose, L- arabinose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, capric acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain 15G1-13 (= NIBRBAC000508959 ) was isolated from seaweed in Jugwang­myeon (38°21 ʹ 23.8 ʺ N, 128°30 ʹ 47.3 ʺ E), Goseong­gun , Gangwon­do , Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 15G1­13 have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers OK626775 .
