Description of Pedobacter aquatilis HMG1331

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are pale pink-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25℃. In API 20NE test, positive for esculin hydrolysis; but negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, urease, and potassium gluconate. D- Glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, and D- maltose were utilized; whereas adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, D- mannitol, capric acid, and phenylacetic acid were not utilized. Strain HMG1331 (= NIBRBAC000506261) was isolated from a soil sample from Jumunjin Beach, Jumunjin-eup, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Korea.
