Description of Aeromonas tecta 16_SB_L4

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, coccibacilli shaped, and non-flagellated. After 2-3 days at 30℃ on R2 A medium, colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and white. The result from the API 20NE tests show positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, cytochrome oxidase, β ­galactosidase, and gelatinase; but negative for indole production. D- Mannitol, D- maltose, D- glucose, D- mannose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are utilized; but not L- arabinose, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 16_SB_ L4 (= NIBRBAC000508789 ) was isolated from sediment soil in Daesin­myeon (37°40 ʹ 27.27 ʺ N, 127°54 ʹ 23.87 ʺ E), Yeoju­gun , Gyeonggi­do, Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 16_SB_L4 have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers OR367260 .
