Description of Polaromonas aquatica IMCC 34644

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, and convex after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive for nitrate reduction and esculin hydrolysis, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase 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 IMCC34644 (= NNIBRBA142) was isolated from a river water sample, the North Han River basin, Korea.
